Welcome to Recklinghausen.

Recklinghausen is on the border between Münsterland and the Ruhr area. It is precisely this mix of the relaxed atmosphere of the Münsterland and lively city life in the district that makes up the quality of life: the city is a center for trade, services, education and culture. The picturesque old town invites you to shop, feast and linger. Imposing heaps and the monuments of industrial culture form the backdrop for excursions of a special kind. In addition to many museums and numerous leisure activities, the internationally renowned Ruhr Festival is another highlight.
