Krimi-Trail Essen

In the location's words:

Crime Trail Essen - Poison scandal in Kettwig 📍

A poison attack in the town hall, mysterious clues and an idyllic district that suddenly becomes a crime scene - on the Crime Trail Essen "Poison Scandal in Kettwig" you will discover one of the most beautiful corners of the Ruhr area in a completely new way.

Your investigation area is in historic Essen-Kettwig, a district that almost looks like it's from another era with its well-preserved half-timbered houses and winding alleyways. The trail starts at the town hall, where a poison attack was committed during a meeting - a place that otherwise stands for administration and everyday life becomes the starting point of a mysterious case.

From there, your search for clues takes you through the old town, characterized by cobblestones, small boutiques and cosy cafés. A very special flair unfolds between the centuries-old buildings, making Kettwig one of Essen's most charming districts.

Another central location is the Ruhr promenade. With its view of the water, the passing boats and the green banks, it actually invites you to relax - but it is precisely here that crucial clues could be hidden. Who was there at the time of the crime? And which encounters are really coincidental?

You finally reach the other side of the river via the striking Ruhr bridge. From here, a new view of the city opens up - and perhaps also of the case itself.

The Crime Trail Essen combines relaxed city flair with an exciting search for clues. Whether as an excursion with friends, a date or a team event: here you can experience Kettwig attentively, curiously and with a completely new view of its most beautiful places.
