The founder of modern landscape painting is a son of the city of Jülich: Johann Wilhelm Schirmer. Experiencing nature has always been closely associated with the town. The Rur floodplains and the Jülich Börde characterize the landscape, which is special in its diversity as an open-cast mining region with its renaturation areas. Between the fields and the river stretches an area characterized by arable farming – and very close to it, because Jülich is a city in the countryside.
