About Klosterhardt
What are the main landmarks in Klosterhardt?
Two names carry the district. The LVR industrial museum occupies a disused ironworks, and it draws visitors who would otherwise have no reason to turn off the main road into a district of housing. The works are named for St. Antony.
Klosterhardt's parish church of St. Antonius carries the same saint into the street plan and gives the district the quieter of its two landmarks.
What is the history of Klosterhardt?
The ironworks gave the district its subject. What the LVR industrial museum preserves is a works whose site records how iron was made on this ground long before the surrounding streets of Oberhausen took their present form. A parish grew alongside.
Klosterhardt's church of St. Antonius fixed the residential half of the district, and the two halves have shared a saint's name ever since, one in iron and one in stone.
Where is Klosterhardt?
