Hattingen's Old Town

Stroll through the old town with flair in a very special city

The city of Hattingen is located in the southern part of the Ruhr region and borders on the Ruhr cities of Essen and Bochum and Wuppertal to the south.

Hat­tin­gen is a part of the Ennepe/Ruhr district and has almost 54,000 residents. The city is located above the Ruhr River and has an old town in the centre with numerous little shops and more that 150 medieval half-timbered houses. The wonderful, slightly hilly location of the town is especially appealing for visitors from further away and from the nearby Ruhr region. Hattingen is an ideal residential and relaxation area and offers a diverse cultural program.

Take a short break to Hattingen and stay in a hotel in the neighbouring city of Bochum nearby.
