Step beyond the glossy tech parks and dive into the gritty, heartfelt history of Moers-Meerbeck.

Join your guide Max and local historian Iris as they uncover the invisible threads of the 'Kumpel' solidarity that still bind this resilient neighborhood together.

The Orange Fortress: Unearthing the Dutch Century of Moers

On this immersive walking tour, you will discover how the House of Orange-Nassau reshaped the streets, the religion, and the very soul of this city. From geometric star-fortresses and militant Calvinism to dynastic marriages that altered the map of Europe, uncover the hidden legacy of an over century-long occupation that turned Moers into a Protestant island in a Catholic sea.
