The Wilhelmshöhe in Hürth is an overburden dump on the edge of the Berrenrather Börde in the Ville between Hürth, Kerpen and Frechen . At almost 155 meters, it is the highest elevation in Hürth and was created as a dump for open- cast lignite mining in the surrounding areas.
The city of Hürth planned a wind farm on Wilhelmshöhe, which initially threatened to fail due to the contradiction in airspace security . At the end of 2015, however, the Bremen-based company Energiekontor was able to start building three wind turbines, each with an output of 2.85 MW and a total height of 150 m . The completion took place in 2016. The standard energy capacity of the wind farm is around 16 million kWh per year.
