Where to stay in Eving
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Beds in Eving are thin on the ground, so most people booking for the north of Dortmund end up in the city centre and ride out to the quarter for the day. The quarter is residential. St. Barbara, Lutherkirche, and St. Marien are its fixed points, and a stay in Eving trades evening options for quiet streets and a short run into central Dortmund.
About Eving
What are the main landmarks in Eving?
Eving's landmarks are churches. St. Barbara, the Lutherkirche, and St. Marien serve different corners of the Stadtteil, and together they give a quarter without any grand monument the buildings people recognise it by. Nothing here draws a tour bus.
Eving reads as a working residential quarter of Dortmund whose landmarks belong to its own streets.
What is the history of Eving?
Eving was a separate community before 1914. Incorporation brought it into Dortmund that year, and the quarter kept its name for the surrounding Stadtbezirk, which still carries Eving as its title across the northern edge of the city. The name stuck to both.
Dortmund took Eving in, and the Stadtteil has been part of the city ever since, with St. Barbara, the Lutherkirche, and St. Marien standing among its housing.
