Garden City Margarethenhöhe

I had only read about it and was thrilled, the Margarethenhöhe is really beautiful.The garden city of Margarethenhöhe, named after the founder Margarethe Krupp, was already considered to be a prime example of an expedient and at the same time philanthropic settlement method of construction between 1909 and 1920. Even today, the houses, of which hardly resembles each other, not only a strong attraction to those interested in architecture. Curved gables and arcades, bay windows, wooden shutters and natural stone base characterize the lovable overall impression. For a look behind the facades, a museum apartment has been set up in Stensstraße.

Very worth seeing district of Essen, which is worth a short detour

Whether on foot or by bike, the "old" Margarethenhöhe is always worth a detour. The colorful weekly market on Saturday is particularly recommended (outside of Corona)!
