Guided Story

Can you feel the spirit of the 1920s as you stand here? Look at the clean lines and understated elegance of the façades. This settlement, born out of economic hardship, is a prime example of the 'New Building' movement. Imagine worker families finding solace here, at a time when housing was scarce. Just behind you, a little under a kilometer away, is the main cemetery, a place of reflection providing a stark contrast to the living history of the Schlieperblock. And if you look south, you can sense the presence of the Iserlohner Brewery, another piece of industrial history. This place beautifully bridges the past and the present.
