A journey through time in Recklinghausen - from the museum to the old town
Experience city history firsthand! Our exciting combination of a museum visit at the Retro Station and a subsequent city exploration brings the past to life. Discover key aspects of the city's development, such as the city wall, the tree-trunk fountain, monastic life, the burgher houses, and the historic market square, first in the museum and then in Recklinghausen's old town. This will reveal how our city evolved, how people lived and worked in the past, and how they shaped their city.
