Where to stay in Rellinghausen
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Schloss Schellenberg gives the district its anchor. Rellinghausen is small, and six listed sites inside that compass mean a stay here has more within reach on foot than most Essen addresses of the same size, from the Blücherturm to the Kunsthaus Essen. Bergerhausen adjoins it. Bed capacity sits with the city, so a central room with Rellinghausen visited from it remains the ordinary answer, and a bed in the borough suits you when Schloss Schellenberg is the reason you came.

About Rellinghausen
What are the main landmarks in Rellinghausen?
Six entries stand in Rellinghausen. Schloss Schellenberg and the Blücherturm head them, with St. Lambertus and the St.-Anna-Kapelle for the churchgoing, the Kunsthaus Essen for art, and the Historische Sammlung der Ruhrwasserwirtschaft for the water-management record that it keeps. That is a dense sheet for so small a district.
Bergerhausen next door lists a single church by comparison.
What is the history of Rellinghausen?
Essen took Rellinghausen in 1910. Before that the borough gave its name to a Bürgermeisterei covering ground that stands as separate districts, Bergerhausen among them, and the older centre survives in St. Lambertus and the St.-Anna-Kapelle rather than in any boundary a visitor can see. Schloss Schellenberg and the Blücherturm outlasted the change.
What the register keeps of the borough's earlier standing is buildings, and the Historische Sammlung der Ruhrwasserwirtschaft adds a later layer to that same ground.
Where is Rellinghausen?
Rellinghausen occupies a compact stretch of the central-southern part of Essen, with Bergerhausen beside it and Schloss Schellenberg on its own ground.
