Morkepütz is a town in the city of Wiehl. First mentioned in 1443 (in the manuscript Liber Luppelheim) as Morkenpissel. Probable meaning (after Dittmayer): Morke = Murke / toad. Pissel = Peisel (Pütz, pond, trough).

The spring basin, protected on the southern slope, with abundant water resources favored the development from a single farm to a rural mountain hamlet. Morkepütz is now a purely residential area.

On April 9, 2005, a memorial stone with a stone toad was inaugurated in front of the fire department hose tower. The greywackle column with a replica toad is a gift. The sculpture is supposed to commemorate the naming of 1443, according to which Morkenpissel means toad pond according to historians.
