Where to stay in Wiemelhausen
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Wiemelhausen is a parish district. St. Johannes, Petrikirche, the Melanchthonkirche and St. Albertus Magnus all stand within it, a dense set of churches for one ward, and Haus Brenschede supplies the single secular address on the same list. Bochum still books the rooms. Visitors comparing Wiemelhausen with Weitmar or Stiepel are choosing between districts of one city rather than between towns with separate hotel stock.
