By 1960, the last open-pit mines so that the brown coal exports in Liblar were closed and dismantled and no longer possible. In the following years, the Liblar station lost its importance. 1969 came in the course of municipal reform and the subsequent following reorganization of the district Euskirchen for combining multiple communes ( including Liblar ) and the founding of the city Erftstadt.
