Eisenheim settlement
The Eisenheim settlement, the oldest workers' colony in the Ruhr area, seems like a haven of peace in the urban hustle and bustle of a modern city. Built in 1846 by the Gutehoffnungshütte (GHH) for its workers, the settlement was due to be demolished in the 1960s and 70s. After a long struggle by the residents, the houses were saved from demolition and placed under monument protection.
This eventful history is documented in an exhibition by LVR-Industriemuseums in the historic washhouse of the settlement, which is still inhabited today. A museum apartment in one of the 39 historic workers' houses has been a further attraction for visitors since 1999. Numerous photos and documents complement the exhibition in the so-called "People's Museum".
