    In memory of the Gouley mine, a mine cart stands on Waldstrasse. The residents of the IG Waldstrasse and their spokesperson, the former city councilor Karl-Heinz Pütz, then had the idea of erecting a mine cart. Many people from the region can certainly still remember the mine, which ceased production in 1969. The mine was mentioned as early as 1599 and still gives its name to an entire street today, with Gouley being derived from the colloquial language of the time and meaning "good stone". Hammer and mallet are still part of the Würselen city coat of arms today.

      In memory of the almost 400 years of mining that took place here in the Wurmtal. Today, a beautiful nature reserve begins here, but even after more than 50 years of being left to nature, you cannot ignore what once took place here.
