"... Heidberg is one of a total of 106 towns in the municipality of Reichshof in the Oberberg district.
The place was mentioned for the first time in 1575. “Place on Arnold Mercator’s map, which also shows the Heitberger Smeltshütte.”
The spelling of the first mention was am Heitbergh.

-The silver mine in Heidberg-
Ore, especially silver and lead, was mined in the Heidberg mine as early as the Middle Ages. In the 17th century, production came to a standstill because of the Thirty Years' War. In 1718 it was reactivated and sold together with the Wildberger Pit. The Cologne banker Hack had the main share. Pumps were soon used for drainage. In 1770 there was another standstill until the London “West Prussian Mining Company” took over in 1870, which increased the annual output to 2000 t per year. The decline in production from 1879 brought the Heidberg mine to a complete standstill..."
