In 1936 Wulfersdorf was incorporated into Harbke . In 1940 the demolition of Wulfersdorf began, in 1944 the inn, church and fire station fell victim to the demolition.
The Harbke opencast mine was opened up as early as 1909, and from 1936 onwards it became part of the Wulfersdorf opencast mine , to which the village fell victim.
