The settlement of Altenhof consists of the two construction phases of the Altenhof settlement I, which was built between 1893 and 1907, and the Altenhof settlement II from the years 1907 to 1914. Altenhof I is located in the Essen district of Rüttenscheid, while Altenhof II is in Stadtwald. Both were built by Friedrich Krupp AG for their former employees. At that time, it was a revolutionary social commitment that allowed the elderly, invalids, and singles to live here rent-free. Today, the remaining parts of the Altenhof settlement are a testament to historical settlement development and are part of the Route of Industrial Culture.
