Rheinpreußen settlement, Duisburg

Settlement Rheinprussia

Journey through history and creativity: The Rheinpreußen settlement, once threatened by destruction by high-rise projects, is today an impressive example of resistance and the preservation of industrial cultures. By 1968, hundreds of apartments had already fallen victim to demolition, but the residents intervened. With courage and organized actions, which even included hunger strikes, they created a turning point in 1979: the city of Duisburg acquired the settlement and thus saved it for future generations.

Today, this settlement is not only a listed building, it is also part of the Industrial Heritage RouteHere, past and future merge in a unique harmony. The residents are also the owners of their homes, which gives the settlement an incomparable sense of community and authenticity.

The settlement offers the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the history of the Ruhr region, away from the well-known tourist trails. Urban flair meets historic architecture that will enchant enthusiastic photographers. This settlement invites you to cross borders, discover stories and be inspired.
