Werden, Kettwig & Villa Hügel 1944

Here are the details of our map of the Werden area: 7 Werden, Kettwig & Villa Hügel 1944 - published 2008. Introduction in English by Alan Godfrey; German summary by Ellen Stramplat This map covers the area from Kettwig eastward to Kupferdreh, with the town of Werden in the centre. The River Ruhr runs across the map, including the Baldeney See. Much of the area is now part of Essen, and some of the southern suburbs of that city are at the top of the map. A major feature is the great Villa Hügel, the home of the Krupp family, from which Alfried Krupp was taken by American soldiers in April 1945. Other areas shown on the map include Bredeney, Baldeney, Heidhausen, Fischlaken. There is relatively little of the industry that is omnipresent elsewhere in the Ruhr, but the map does include some railways and collieries, Mülheim Airfield, and Kettwig, one of the most attractive town centres in the region
