Essen's youngest district was incorporated in 1975. To this day it has retained the character of the old town with the numerous half-timbered houses from the 17th to 19th centuries and winding streets. Many beautiful Rococo and Empire doors are worth seeing.

Kettwig has a beautiful old town that is well worth seeing. There are also cafes and restaurants in scenic locations. If you are here longer, we recommend the swimming center in Kettwig. A quiet and clean swimming pool in a beautiful valley location. Certainly relaxing after a long bike ride.
