history
The place was first mentioned in 1288 as Zemplin . From 1919 to 1935 the Zimpel settlement was built on the model of a garden city . The approximately one hundred hectare settlement was designed by the architects Hermann Wahlich , Paul Heim and Albert Kempter . For the most part, blocks of multi-family houses and single-family houses, as well as some single-family houses, were built. In the middle of the settlement a large, rectangular, green square was created, where the Evangelical Gustav Adolf Church and an elementary school (1928, based on a design by city planner Hugo Althoff ) were built. To the southeast on the edge of the settlement is the Catholic Church Św. Rodziny.
