Schwelm: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

History

Schwelm is a historic city in Westphalia, directly on the border with the Rhineland, and the district capital of the Ennepe-Ruhr district in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Schwelm’s history, culture and townscape have been shaped over centuries by its location between Westphalia and the Rhineland, including the Bergisches Land.

Historically, Schwelm was known as a spa and bathing town because of the Schwelm Gesundbrunnen mineral spring in the Brunn district.
