Guided Story

You're standing at Saure Wiese, a green oasis in the heart of Bochum. To your left, the Ahbach stream gently flows along the park's western edge. Originally part of the Eppendorf municipality, this area became part of Bochum in 1926. This change was due to the Bochumer Verein's request, linking their industrial operations in Höntrop. The old railway line here hints at that past industrial connection. Enjoy the peaceful moment and the blend of nature and history this spot offers. Can you imagine the days when trains used to clatter along these tracks?
