Huttrop sits inside Essen's Stadtbezirk I, a built-up district marked by St. Bonifatius and the Neue Pauluskirche.
About Huttrop
Where to stay in Huttrop
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Very little of Huttrop is let to visitors. Huttrop belongs to Stadtbezirk I along with Stadtmitte, Frillendorf and the Nordviertel, so a bed booked in central Essen still leaves the same city district within reach while keeping the choice of hotels at the core. The Elisabeth-Krankenhaus brings its own steady traffic to the streets nearby.
Choose Huttrop if you prefer residential blocks around St. Bonifatius to the busier centre.
About Huttrop
What are the main landmarks in Huttrop?
Churches carry the landmark list in Huttrop. St. Bonifatius is the name best known here, the Neue Pauluskirche adds a second parish building, and the church of the Elisabeth-Krankenhaus stands with the hospital that gave it its name. These are working parish buildings.
The city's heavier monuments, from Museum Folkwang to the Zeche Zollverein World Heritage Site, sit elsewhere in Essen.
What is the history of Huttrop?
What the record keeps here is parish record. Huttrop's churches are the surviving markers: St. Bonifatius, the Neue Pauluskirche and the church raised for the Elisabeth-Krankenhaus, three buildings that stand for the congregations of a district inside Stadtbezirk I. The wider city changed faster. Essen turned from an industrial centre of the Ruhr into a city of museums, taking the European Capital of Culture title in 2010 and the European Green Capital award in 2017.
Where is Huttrop?
Huttrop lies inside Essen's Stadtbezirk I, the city district it shares with Stadtmitte, Frillendorf and the Nordviertel, in the Ruhr of North Rhine-Westphalia.
