Today, there is little to remind us that a Zuf once drove in Hüllhorst. The so-called "Wallücker-Willem" shaped the time from the late 19th century.

Without the ore deposits in the Wiehengebirge, the Wallückebahn would never have existed. But passenger and freight traffic also helped to shape the so-called "Wallücker-Willem". In 1891, the Georgs-Marien -Bergwerks- und Hütten-Verein (GMBHV) acquired the ore deposit east of the Wallücke in Hüllhorst. The transport of the ores from Hüllhorst via Löhne to Georgsmarienhütte initially posed problems. The districts of Lübbecke and Herford agreed with the GMBHV on a public route from Kirchlengern via Obernbeck, Löhne, Haistern, Tengern and Schnathorst to Wallücke. Special passenger cars, freight cars and ore cars for the Wallückerbahn ran on the line. In September 1897, the time had finally come. The Wallücke Railway was opened and operated until its closure in 1937. It was replaced by the small railroad of the then districts of Herford Lübbecke and Minden.
