Hattingen

Hattingen combines a timber-framed medieval centre with the Ruhr’s industrial heritage in a way that reflects its position on the Ruhr River. Its compact Altstadt preserves a dense ensemble of half-timbered houses, narrow lanes and St George’s Church, setting it apart from the Ruhrgebiet’s larger cities. The former Henrichshütte ironworks recalls the region’s steelmaking era and now houses the LWL Museum Henrichshütte. The Ruhr Valley Cycle Route and riverside paths reveal a greener dimension of this heavily urbanised region.
