    Is considered the oldest workers' settlement in the Ruhr area. The short tour of the settlement is like traveling back in time.

    The Eisenheim settlement in Oberhausen is considered the oldest workers' settlement in the Ruhr area and one of the oldest surviving workers' settlements in Germany. Eisenheim is the first German workers' settlement to be listed as a historical monument.

    The first houses on the roughly seven-hectare site were built in 1846 by what later became Gutehoffnungshütte (GHH), initially for their ironworkers. Miners from the Osterfeld colliery were only added after the second stage of expansion after 1865. Around 1900 about 1200 people lived in 51 one and a half and two storey houses.
