Aussichtspunkt über das Vichttal – Landschaft im Wandel
Stolberg
From the vantage point above the Vichttal valley, the view opens up over a wide, idyllic landscape. But it wasn't always like this: during the Second World War, front lines ran nearby at times.
Between 1942 and 1945, farms were damaged or destroyed here. The civilian population was also affected: Combat operations, billeting and supply shortages were part of everyday life. The place that offers recreation today was shaped by war back then.
The view across the valley reveals the contrast between the past of a war zone and the present, in which the green landscape once again offers space for everyday life and recreation.
Traces of the past: take a moment to think about how different this place was in the 1940s - shaped by war, barriers and destruction.
