    Tips

    January 9, 2021

    Hardly visible in summer because of the many old trees, the workers' settlement of the Feldmühle factory (today Evonik) is somewhat hidden between Feldmühlestrasse and Porzer Strasse. The settlement was created from 1913 and is strongly reminiscent of colliery settlements in the Ruhr area or garden cities. Above all, the relationship between the residential buildings and the gardens is still largely present today. A short detour through the settlement is worthwhile for anyone interested in architecture or social history.

      Freischwimmer has already described the settlement comprehensively and aptly, this closed ensemble is definitely worth a detour.
