The Bergisches Land, especially the region around Much and Marienfeld, had a special meaning for Heinrich Böll (German writer of the post-war period). When his home town of Cologne was almost completely bombed during the Second World War, he fled here with his wife. In Marienfeld, the two found refuge in the vicarage in 1944. Information boards in the village and on the adjacent "Böllweg" provide very clear information about Böll's life at this difficult time.

The Böllweg is also described as a ramble 20 in the Bergisch raids. More information and also to the other forums, which are recommended, under: bergisches-wanderland.de

The Böllweg at Much and Marienfeld is very worth seeing. But there is a lot more to explore in the area.
