Essen began in the mid-9th century as home to a women's abbey, then during the Renaissance became an important coal mining town and later a major steel production center. The famed metal-working Krupp family opened their first foundry here in 1810. One of Essen's most interesting places is the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex, once the largest colliery in the world. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it attracts 800,000 visitors a year, often hosting art exhibitions and performances.

Really nice old part of the city to walk through. Nice promenade along the river, nice half wooden houses and nice little cafes for a good cup of coffee. We walked there for an hour of two.
Coppers is an Irish Pub in the heart of Kettwig Old Town. We host live music and have many international beers on tap, along with a wide variety of spirits and cocktails to suit all tastes. We have a bar, lounge, function room with live music stage, and outdoor garden. Come on in and say hi to the newest bar in town.
