history
The medieval settlement of Kuckelberg , which split up into Ober- and Unterkuckelberg, is documented for the year 1400. As early as 1351, a farm was mentioned under the name Kuchgelenberg , which probably means the Kuckelberg settlement . The original settlement developed into a small hamlet in the early modern period . In 1905 he counted seven farms with 27 residents. The defining word kuckel is probably derived from the Middle High German kukuk and is a dialectic form for the bird cuckoo .
Mining
Mining took place in the Kuckelberg area over two thousand years ago. To the west of Kuckelberg you can still see pings that represent the near-surface mining for iron . With the start of the coal and steel industry , the Prince Wilhelm mine was awarded there.
