Where to stay in Kleinhüningen
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Hotels are not this quarter's business. Kleinhüningen runs down to the Rhine at the Dreiländereck, and the ground here goes to harbour works, the Hafenmuseum Basel and the collection at Stiftung Brasilea rather than to rooms for visitors. Central Basel keeps those.
A bed out here suits a morning at the Dreiländereck or an appointment on the docks.

About Kleinhüningen
What are the main landmarks in Kleinhüningen?
The Dreiländereck is the one name outsiders arrive for. Beside it the Hafenmuseum Basel keeps the harbour's record and Stiftung Brasilea holds a collection of its own, while two churches, St. Christophorus and the Kleinhüningen reformed church, account for the older built stock. Excavation supplies the rest.
What is the history of Kleinhüningen?
Wood tells the earliest part. Alluvial forest timber recovered from the Rhine gravel at Kleinhüningen has been dated to around 1600 BC, and an Alamanni cemetery in the same quarter carries the record forward by many centuries. Burial continued far later, in a modern cemetery used from 1882 to 1932.
The Kleinhüningen reformed church and St. Christophorus stand for the parish side, while the Hafenmuseum Basel records the harbour that grew along the same water.
Where is Kleinhüningen?
Kleinhüningen lies along the Rhine at the Dreiländereck, the harbour end of Basel and the ground whose story the Hafenmuseum Basel records.
