Fulerum, Essen — Area Guide & Where to Stay

What are the main landmarks in Fulerum?

The parish church is the landmark. Theresia vom Kinde Jesu, named for Thérèse of the Child Jesus, is the only building in Fulerum entered on the record, and it doubles as the point from which people describe the rest of the quarter. Fulerum's record names no second building.

Essen keeps its sights elsewhere, and what Fulerum offers instead is an ordinary residential grid.

What is the history of Fulerum?

A saint's name marks the quarter. Fulerum's church answers to Theresia vom Kinde Jesu, and that dedication, together with the settlement name itself, is nearly the whole of what the quarter hands down about its own past. Essen supplied the rest.

Taken into the city's grid of quarters, Fulerum kept its name and its one and a half square kilometres, and the wider story belongs to Essen in Germany rather than to these streets.

Where is Fulerum?

Fulerum takes up a modest share of Essen's ground, tight enough that its streets and the Theresia vom Kinde Jesu church sit a few minutes apart on foot.
