Kolonie Hegemannshof

Imagine standing in the pages of a living history book. Look around you—these rows of houses speak of a time when the Ruhr area was the beating heart of Germany's industry. Right in front of you are typical brick structures, emblematic of the workers' colonies from back in the day. The Kolonie Hegemannshof was the very first of its kind here in Katernberg, a pioneering project of mining architecture. If you look east, you'll spot the Fatih Mosque, highlighting how the area has evolved while the colony remains a silent witness to the past. Let the aura of old stories envelop you, stories that these walls continue to tell.
