Where to stay in Hombruch
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
This is a wide, quiet quarter. Hombruch stretches across a broad piece of Dortmund and takes in Barop, which means a stay here buys residential calm and a run back into the Westphalian city centre. St. Clemens and the Lutherkirche Barop are the two names most useful for orienting inside it.
Hotel beds are few across Hombruch and Barop alike.

About Hombruch
What are the main landmarks in Hombruch?
Churches do the work here. Hombruch counts St. Clemens, the Lutherkirche Barop, Maria Königin, St. Franziskus Xaverius, Heilige Familie, and the Ev. Kirche Dortmund-Hombruch among its named buildings, nearly all of them churches.
None is a headline sight. The list matters mainly for orientation, since each church names a piece of Hombruch and the quarter is large enough to need the markers.
What is the history of Hombruch?
Dortmund grew into the largest city of the Ruhr and of Westphalia, and quarters like Hombruch were drawn into that expansion as the city spread out along the Emscher and the Ruhr. Barop kept its name. Its Lutherkirche Barop still carries it, as St. Clemens and the other churches carry the older cores of Hombruch inside a quarter that belongs wholly to Dortmund.
Where is Hombruch?
Hombruch covers a wide stretch of Dortmund, the Westphalian city set on the Emscher and the Ruhr, and takes Barop in with it.
