About Katernberg
What are the main landmarks in Katernberg?
Katernberg counts three churches and little else in the register: Heilig-Geist-Kirche, the Evangelical church that carries the borough's own name, and the Catholic parish of St. Joseph. Three dedications, and no fourth. Nearly five square kilometres of Essen sit behind that short roll, which makes the borough a place of streets and parish halls rather than of monuments.
What is the history of Katernberg?
The founding year is missing. Katernberg enters the account as one of the boroughs Essen carries, nearly five square kilometres of ground whose own past is written in parish dedications rather than in a charter or a castle. Evangelical and Catholic names sit side by side in that list.
That is the whole documentary trace the borough brings to a visitor's map.
Where is Katernberg?
Nearly five square kilometres of Essen carry the name Katernberg, ground the borough shares with Heilig-Geist-Kirche and its parish churches.
