Where to stay in Bladenhorst
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
A stay in Bladenhorst means a room found through Castrop-Rauxel, since the district's entry lists two churches and no lodging at all, leaving the wider city to supply everything a visitor books. The Herz-Jesu-Kirche and the Pauluskirche give the district its two orientation points, useful when directing a taxi or meeting someone. Look to the city for beds.
If you want a base with parish streets rather than shopfronts outside the door, Bladenhorst fits.
About Bladenhorst
What are the main landmarks in Bladenhorst?
Bladenhorst's list runs to two entries, both of them churches: the Herz-Jesu-Kirche and the Pauluskirche, which between them account for everything the monument record holds under the district's name. Neither is a museum piece. A wider look at the area means going into Castrop-Rauxel, since nothing else within Bladenhorst has been entered as worth marking.
The churches remain the district's own.
What is the history of Bladenhorst?
Bladenhorst is first documented in 1220, as Blarenhurst. What Bladenhorst does carry is a pair of parishes, the Herz-Jesu-Kirche and the Pauluskirche, whose dedications are the oldest fixed points the district's entry offers. The rest belongs to Castrop-Rauxel.
Bladenhorst joined the new town of Castrop-Rauxel as a founding municipality in 1926, and the later administrative story sits with the city.
Where is Bladenhorst?
Bladenhorst reaches east as far as Castrop-Rauxel Hauptbahnhof and takes in the housing on Victorstraße, part of the town centre. The Rhein-Herne-Kanal bounds it to the north. To the west lies Börnig, a district of Herne, and the A 42 forms most of the southern edge, while the north-east is shaped by the Rütgerswerke works and the converted ground of the former Zeche Victor.
