In the past, the moor and the acquisition by peat cutting was of central importance.

On May 20, 2009, the Recke Local History Society's Peat Cutters' Monument was unveiled on Rothershausener Straße. It commemorates the post-World War II period when many Recke residents cut peat in the moor to provide fuel. The idea for the monument was suggested by Recke local historian Werner Heukamp. Josef Struck was responsible for the artistic design.
