If you believe the numerous corresponding legends, the extremely unusual name of the route comes from the numerous market women who carried their goods with them like donkeys with their packs. Passenger traffic was discontinued in 1979, and the eastern section between Löttringhausen and Witten-Ost was shut down and dismantled in 1982. Freight traffic on the western section was also discontinued in 2001, first between Stockum and Witten-Ost and finally also from Langendreer to Stockum in 2004, and the route was dismantled.
