The double town consisted of Harff Castle with its castle chapel and mill, the town of Harff, which consisted of a row of a few small farms and cottages on the street side opposite the castle, and the clustered village of Morken, which had its own train station on the Düren– Neuss, the Martinuskirche and the miners' settlements built later made up the main part of the double town. This also included the small hamlet of Omagen, which essentially consisted of Omagen Castle, which existed until 1935, two farms and the Tiergarten inn. About 1000 m east of Morken on the Erft was the Huster Knupp, a so-called Motte, which was the ancestral town of the county of Hochstaden (Huster). The church was built in 1894/95 between the two places by Heinrich Wolf from Elsdorf in the neo-Romanesque style according to sketches by Heinrich Wiethase - and after his death with plans by Theodor Roß. The previous old church on the church hill from the 11th century had been dilapidated for a long time and had to be supported as early as 1875.

The former village of Morken-Harff is remembered with this crossroads. This place was also relocated in favor of the brown coal opencast mine. You can find more information at: netreisetagebuch.de/wanderweg-werwolf-kasterer-see
