Max von der Grün, the “worker-poet”. He described the conditions in the mines and the living conditions of the miners.
Almost forgotten today, only his youth book "The Suburban Crocodiles" is still read by almost every child in the Ruhr area at some point in school...
His mining novel "Irrlicht und Feuer" is still available, highly recommended if you want to learn something about the history of this area!

The cycle and footpath between the Bönen winding tower and the Sesekebrücke on the city limits of Kamen was named after the writer Max von der Grün, who has roots in the community and region. The writer Max von der Grün, born in 1926, lived in Heeren-Werve from 1951 to 1966. He lived in the Lanstrop district of Dortmund until his death in 2005. From 1951 to 1963, von der Grün worked at the Königsborn 2/5 colliery, first as a hewer and then, after a serious accident at work, as an underground locomotive driver.

The Max-von-der-Grün-Weg is a section of the Klöcknerbahnweg, which in turn leads to Werne as a "mine railway". It led from and to the Königsborn III/IV mine. Today an excellent green walking and cycling path.
