With its historic center and surrounded by the city wall...

...Recklinghausen—located between Münsterland and the Ruhr metropolitan area—still reflects medieval urban structures. The beautiful old town around the market square invites you to shop, dine, and linger in the "Guten Stube." Worth seeing are St. Peter's Church (13th century), the city wall (14th century), the farms, craft and mansion houses, as well as the town hall. Around the old town, it is worth visiting the old church square in Suderwich or the village of Hochlar.
