Schwelm

Schwelm sits beside the Schwelme stream in North Rhine-Westphalia, where the Ruhr area’s southeastern edge meets the hills of the Bergisches Land. The district town of Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis has a compact centre shaped by longstanding links between the industrial Ruhr and the uplands to its south. Around the pedestrian streets, older gabled and timber-framed buildings recall the town’s Westphalian character. Haus Martfeld, a former moated manor on the outskirts, houses the municipal museum and provides a direct link to local history. Schwelm is also known locally for its annual Heimatfest, a civic festival held in late summer.
