About Hörde
Where to stay in Hörde
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Hörde is both a Stadtbezirk and a quarter. Beds in Hörde itself are scarce. Visitors who want to be south of the centre of Dortmund usually take a bed in the city and travel out to Hörde for Kloster Clarenberg, Haus Benninghofen, or the churches.
The quarter is mostly housing and ordinary streets.
About Hörde
What are the main landmarks in Hörde?
Kloster Clarenberg heads the list. Haus Benninghofen is the second named building of Hörde, and the churches follow: the Lutherkirche, Herz-Jesu-Kirche, and St. Clara. None of them is a mass attraction, but a quarter the size of Hörde needs its markers, and these five carry the map of the Stadtbezirk between them.
What is the history of Hörde?
Two buildings carry Hörde's past. Kloster Clarenberg preserves a monastic foundation in the south of Dortmund, and Haus Benninghofen keeps the name of Benninghofen on the map of the Stadtbezirk. Hörde counts twice in the city's structure, as a Stadtbezirk and as a Stadtteil inside it, and both readings sit in the south of Dortmund, in Germany.
Where is Hörde?
Hörde lies in the south of Dortmund, a Stadtbezirk holding Benninghofen and the ground around Kloster Clarenberg.
