List of sights in the Ruhr Valley
The sights on the approximately 221 km long Ruhr are accessible through the route of industrial culture (especially the history and present of the Ruhr ), the Ruhrhöhenweg , the RuhrtalRadweg , but also the Kaiser route . These include, among others, palaces, castles, monasteries, churches, mills, sluices, ferries, viaducts, reservoirs, power plants and collieries. At Hagen , the Lenneroute runs along the Lenne , the most important tributary of the Ruhr, which rises on the Kahler Asten , also near Winterberg .
Like many historical places in North Rhine-Westphalia , some are also linked with legends. Among the historical territories along the Ruhr valley include the Duchy of Westphalia , the county Arnsberg , the County of Mark , the rule of Hardenberg , Reichsstift If that pen food , the rule Broich and the Duchy of Jülich .
In 1851, Johann Georg Kohl described the division of the Ruhr Valley into three sections:
“(...) The course of the Ruhr can then be divided into the following natural sections: 1.) The upper Ruhr valley up to the union at Neheim and up to the mouth of the Möhne ; 2.) the middle Ruhr in a wide valley with several small tributaries to the mouth of the Lenne and to the narrow Thal passage at Herdecke ; 3.) the lower Ruhr from the last narrow point downwards through an always narrow valley and with very insignificant tributaries to the mouth. "
The sights and historical places are sorted from the source of the Ruhr to the mouth. The demarcation is controversial, because the actual Ruhr valley is a natural spatial unit and only includes the valley of the river between Witten - Heven and Mülheim an der Ruhr .
