About Hofstede
What are the main landmarks in Hofstede?
One church, and that is the list. The record attaches St. Marien Wanne-Eickel to Hofstede and adds nothing beside it, so the district's inventory of monuments, museums and heritage sites runs to a single line. Bochum holds the rest.
Anything a visitor to Nordrhein-Westfalen would travel for is entered against the city rather than against this quarter of it.
What is the history of Hofstede?
Ask when Hofstede began and the file answers nothing. Hofstede reaches the register as a district of Bochum with its dates left blank, neither a charter nor a first mention set against the name in the material gathered for it. Its chronology sits with the city.
Bochum carries the years that Hofstede's own sheet never received, and Nordrhein-Westfalen the wider frame around them.
Where is Hofstede?
Hofstede lies within the built-up ground of Bochum in Nordrhein-Westfalen, a district recorded without river, hill or measured area of its own.
