Recklinghausen

The landscape around Recklinghausen is a gently rolling transition between the industrial Ruhrgebiet and the farmland of the Münsterland, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. The Emscher passes through the city’s southern districts, while former coal mining sites recall Recklinghausen’s long connection with the Ruhr’s industrial development. Its compact historic centre includes St Peter’s Church and pedestrian streets lined with shops and cafés. Since 1946, the annual Ruhrfestspiele has brought major theatre productions to the city, giving Recklinghausen an important role in Germany’s performing-arts calendar.
