An old quarry that is now a nature reserve.

A former mining tunnel of the Bochumer Bruch limestone quarry offers a museum in an extraordinary atmosphere: the Wülfrath Time Tunnel. The 160 meter long tunnel tells 400 million years of earth's history with multifaceted objects and fossils on a natural history trail.

Even as a local, you always see something you don't know yet

City master builder Herrmann Schülke played a key role in the design of the Kaiserberg complex from 1874 to 1881. This is how the artificial grotto and a natural stone wall were created based on the model of the Dechen cave near Letmathe. Visiting the cave cost 20 cents back then. A water tower that used to exist to the east above the grotto and the Kaiser Wilhelm I monument that was removed and melted down in 1942, as well as an artificial waterfall with a cascade leading to the fountain at the main entrance of the Kaiserbergpark, which ran over the grotto, formed an axis down to the monument road.

Cave dwellers are animals that need consistent temperatures and humidity levels and get through the winter frost-free. Amphibians, moths, bats 🦇

Mathias Weber, known as "Fetzer", the son of a drunkard and a prostitute, was said to be hiding here. Fetzer's raids took him from Holland to the Middle Rhine. In 1802 he was finally caught in Frankfurt. He was found guilty of 180 burglaries and 2 murders and was sentenced to death and beheaded on February 19, 1803. The cave itself dates back to 1562 when coal was dug there without success. At the beginning of the 20th century there was an open-air stage around the cave (see pictures).

Actually this is not a natural cave and only an artificial tunnel of 5 meters long.
