About Berghofen
What are the main landmarks in Berghofen?
The Kreuzkirche is the whole of it. Dortmund records a single building inside Berghofen, and the same Kreuzkirche turns up again on the list kept for Aplerbeck, which leaves this district with one church and nothing else marked on it at all. Anyone walking Berghofen is walking streets rather than sights, with the church as the single fixed point.
What is the history of Berghofen?
What Berghofen can show of its past comes down to the Kreuzkirche, since the record Dortmund keeps for the district attaches neither a date of foundation nor an account of what stood here before the church. The church stands alone. Administration puts the place under Dortmund inside Nordrhein-Westfalen, and the documented fabric of the district begins and ends with that one building.
Where is Berghofen?
Berghofen sits inside Dortmund, in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, on ground that carries the Kreuzkirche and little else in the way of marked buildings.
