What to expect

  1. Hagen
    10m
    The starting point of Hagen's industrial rise, where the rushing Ennepe powered early foundries and dictated the linear expansion of the city.
  2. 10m
    A huge railway junction that arose out of geographical necessity, where the tracks were forced to follow the ancient paths dug from the rivers into the mountains.
  3. 10m
    Hagen's modern town hall, built directly on the Volme, serves as a central point to address the heavy industrial pollution and the subsequent ecological remediation of the city's waterways.
  4. 10m
    A lush, steep park on the edge of the city, which perfectly illustrates how Hagen has preserved dramatic natural landscapes right next to dense urban industry.
