The origin story
In 2009, the History Association for the Municipality of Kürten and Surroundings recorded cultural-historical objects such as churches and chapels, houses and mills, tombstones and devotional crosses on behalf of the municipality of Kürten and with the help of the working group >History / Cultural History Mission Statement Kürten 2020 < compiled in the brochure “Of crossroads, mills and sinkholes“ .
The original author of the overview map shown below is Stefanie Kurth, which has lovingly compiled and located all historical objects on our old homepage. This map is also the inspiration for our new digital Interactive map , which will continue to be expanded from now on.
The book about these objects
The brochure “Of crossroads, mills and sinkholes“ also shows all of these objects beautifully compiled in printed form and is available through our association.
