The area of the former poplar school is an area that is now on the edge of the Sophienhöhe. After the end of the war, poplar trees were grown here in order to then plant them all over North Rhine-Westphalia. The poplars served as reparation payments for the Dutch. At that time the area was 15 hectares, today it is only 0.8 hectares.
