    Here Heinrich Böll found an apartment with the Franken family and made his way every day to Berzbach to the Peters farm, where he was supplied with life-saving milk for his family.

      On the Böllweg there are numerous information boards, with the help of which you can dive well into the life of the Böll family.

        Perhaps some hikers or strollers on the "Böll Trail" (Bergischer Streifzug 20) would like to learn a little about the trail's namesake, who, incidentally, also lived here for several years? Then I recommend taking a quarter of an hour to watch the corresponding episode of the television series "Classics of World Literature" by and with Tilmann Spengler.

        The person and work of Nobel Prize winner Heinrich Böll (1917 to 1985) are presented there. The corresponding film can be accessed via the following link in the ARD Media Library =>> ardmediathek.de/video/klassiker-der-weltliteratur/heinrich-boell/ard-alpha/Y3JpZDovL2JyLmRlL2Jyb2FkY2FzdC9GMjAxN1dPMDIwMzUxQTA
