One of Hartwig Neumann's main areas of interest was the Jülich citadel, for the welfare of which he was constantly concerned.

Hartwig Neumann has the merit of raising public awareness of it through tireless work and publications and of having secured its future - although the associated actions sometimes bordered on the querulous .
The city of Jülich honored Neumann after his death and named the path that follows the moat on the west side of the citadel "Hartwig-Neumann-Weg".See this excerpt and more
