history

Until the local reorganization , which came into force on January 1, 1972, Duffesheide, Radsberg and Reifeld belonged to the municipality of Bardenberg . Old names are "Douffesheidt" and "Daubenheydt".

Between Duffesheide and Bardenberg was the "Community" shaft from the Eschweiler Bergwerkverein EBV. The original plan was to put the shaft into operation as a complete mine. However, before that, in 1907, the EBV merged with the " Vereinigungsgesellschaft für Steinkohlenbau im Wurmrevier ". Therefore, the shaft was only used as a weather shaft for the Anna pit . The embankment that had already been built for the rail connection to the pit had lost its meaning.
