The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
A bed here is hard to find.

The distances inside the quarter are small, and the St. Josef and St. Meinolf ends both sit within an easy walk of the same shops.
You get quiet streets and a short ride into the centre.

About Altenhagen
What are the main landmarks in Altenhagen?
Altenhagen marks itself with churches. The Lutherkirche and the Markuskirche sit on the same short roster of Altenhagen churches as St. Josef and St. Meinolf, and between them those four dedications supply the quarter with most of what a visitor would cross the district to look at. The list stays short.
What stands here is parish work, built for the streets around it.
What is the history of Altenhagen?
The name points backwards. Altenhagen sets the German word for old in front of the city's own name, so the label itself claims a Hagen that predates the boundaries now drawn around the quarter. Its churches record the later layers, the Lutherkirche and the Markuskirche on one line of dedication and St. Josef and St. Meinolf on the other.
Four church names survive on the district's map.
