Author Max von der Grün wrote a book in 1976 called "Vorstadtkrokodile". In 1977 this book has been released into a movie, which I really enjoyed as a kid.
The location featured in this post, is the original location of the brick factory in the movie.

These days it's just 'some terrain' to most people, but the movie has been (mostly) recorded in Bracht (D) and Brüggen (D), and when you know this movie well (or study it well), you can still revisit many places from this movie that actually do still exist today!
