Mrs. C. Krutz-Sonnenschein
The holiday apartment Sonnenschein is located in the middle of the historic miners’ colony Hegemannshof – the first miners’ colony in the Essen-Katernberg district. Here you can still feel the special charm of the mining era: quiet, green streets, lovingly preserved houses, and an atmosphere that brings industrial history to life. The location is ideal for everyone who wants to combine culture and nature – whether it’s a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Zollverein Coal Mine, a bike tour along the railway tracks, or a relaxing walk in the surroundings. Perfect for couples, families, and anyone who likes to be active. Overview of the accommodation:

Industrial culture in the Ruhr area
We, as a family of four, spent a weekend in the apartment Sonnenschein. Everything important is available. We were particularly impressed by the surroundings: a well-preserved example of mining settlements. The only thing we missed due to the summer weather was an opportunity to sit outside.
