Historical objects in the “Interactive Map”

Traces of cultural and historical evidence in the municipality of Kürten digital explore…

We would like to introduce you to the historical objects in the municipality of Kürten and the surrounding area using an interactive map.

Of course, it is much more fun to explore the historical objects "REAL and on site", which we would like to encourage you to do. With this map you have the opportunity to more easily assign all historical objects locally and then set off for a visit. The original author of the overview map is Stefanie Kurth.

This page is still under construction and we look forward to receiving further ideas and suggestions from you.

Have fun discovering and exploring...

In a small "Presentation Video " we will show you how you can use the interactive map.
