history
The weekly market on today's Altmarkt goes back to an official resolution from 1898. On the square is one of the oldest drinking halls in the Ruhr area , a green wooden pavilion that the mineral water manufacturer Theodor Küppers had built at the beginning of the 20th century. Today the pavilion is a monument .
To the east of the square, at the confluence of the parallel street, there is another monument: a two-storey doctor's house built between 1892 and 1893 with an L-shaped utility wing on the east side.
