Herne
Herne is a city of 156,000 people in the Ruhr area. Part of the city escaped the extensive bombing that destroyed other Rugr cities in World War II, so there are still many historical buildings, especially in the Herne-Mitte district, many of them from the Wilhelminian era.| Tap on a place to explore it |
