Here the workers, who flocked to the area in droves in the golden age of the Ruhr industry, found a home: in the settlement of Eisenheim in Oberhausen-Osterfeld. Eisenheim was founded in 1846 by the Hüttengewerkschaft Jacobi, Haniel and Huyssen - this makes the settlement the oldest of the countless workers and coal mines in the Ruhr area.


Towards the end of the 1950s, efforts were made to stamp out many of the old workers' settlements in order to replace the supposedly outdated settlements with more modern housing units. But when the excavators arrived in Eisenheim in the 1970s, the residents resisted the demolition in a nationwide campaign.


Today, the Museum Eisenheim tells of the history of the settlement, the fight against the demolition and of everyday life and life in the 'colony'.
