The soil here contains 20 times more lead and 2000 times more zinc than normal. This is what the calamine violet needs. The blue variety, "Viola guestphalica," thrives only here and 2 km south along the Wäschebach stream: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/7785420 Its closest relative is the yellow calamine violet, "Viola calaminaria," on the zinc dumps on the left bank of the Rhine, especially Kelmis near Aachen. https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/6994835

The Wrex Church, with its distinctive four turrets, was built between 1845 and 1847. There is a legend among the citizens of Wrex that says that during a dispute between planners, a table fell over, and the resulting upward tilt of the table legs contributed to the decision regarding the design of the church steeple.
