Green Belt Kempen

Highlight • Parking

The park around the castle merges into the green belt on both sides, which surrounds the entire old town like a buffer. The old town is surrounded by a total of three rings: the Wall - a pedestrian zone along the historic city wall, the park-like green belt and only then the ring, which largely keeps traffic out of the old town.

The green belt and the restoration of parts of the historic city wall was part of the extensive redevelopment measures - its creation was hotly contested and is today accepted by all sides as a very pleasant quiet zone. In summer, however, sporting activities such as boules tournaments or the Highland Games also take place on the Burgwiese and in the green belt.

Historic Half-Timbered Houses on Tiefstraße, Kempen

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

Old half-timbered houses are often hidden behind the facades of this street, which were mostly redesigned in the 19th century.

This one is one of the oldest, as it was built in 1513, as can be seen from examining its beams. The upper floor is striking because it protrudes towards the street - both to create living space in the narrow alley and to create a stately impression. When compared with the original condition, the smaller windows are particularly noticeable.
