Wilhelmshöhe is an eastern district of Eschweiler in the Aachen city region and forms a double district with Hüelte . He belonged to 1972 together with Hücheln and Weisweiler to Düren .

history

The village of Wilhelmshöhe is much younger than Hüüle, which has now grown together with it. On a Prussian map from 1846 only forest is shown there. Wilhelmshöhe is a former coal mine with a mine. The shaft was named Wilhelm after Duke Wilhelm V von Jülich from the 16th century. The coal deposits emerging here were already used by the barons of Palant and the counts of Hatzfeld. The last owner was Christine Englerth , and in 1856 the Eschweiler Bergwerksverein EBV began mining. However, in 1874 the Wilhelm shaft had to be closed due to repeated water ingress.
