About Dellwig
What are the main landmarks in Dellwig?
Dellwig keeps a single landmark. The Friedenskirche, registered under the quarter's full civic name of Essen-Dellwig, stands as the one monument on record here and works as the obvious meeting point for anyone arranging to see the place. Nothing else carries that weight.
The rest is residential Essen, where the interest lies in ordinary streets rather than in anything ticketed.
What is the history of Dellwig?
The church anchors what is known. Dellwig comes down as a settlement name that outlived the ground it once described, and the Friedenskirche remains the visible fixed point through which the quarter's past is usually approached. A start year for Dellwig was never written down.
Essen, which the quarter now forms part of, supplies the wider frame that Germany's industrial map filled in around it.
Where is Dellwig?
Some three and a half square kilometres of ground make up Dellwig, one of the smaller units into which Essen, in Germany, divides its map.
