    The Millicher Halde is a tailings dump of the Sophia-Jacoba coal mine in Hückelhoven. The volume of the 70 meter high heap is 10 million cubic meters of overburden on an area of 32 hectares.
    In 1936 the stratification of the Millicher Halde began and continued until 1972. The heap was planted in the 1970s and has since provided a habitat for a larger population of common toads. In 2002 the heap was released from the mining supervision.
