Witten-Hohenstein

The Hohenstein is the central forest of Witten, (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany).

But "Hohenstein" is also the name of a city-district of Witten's borough "Mitte".

As a forest the Hohenstein is well known in the region, the "Mittlere Ruhrtal" (Middle Ruhr valley) because of its Berger-Denkmal, from which visitors have a view over the whole Ruhr valley between the cities of Witten and Wetter.

The monument was built in remembrance of the German industrialist Louis Constans Berger (1829-1891), whose factory – formerly Gussstahlwerk - is still producing steel for the world market.
