Where to stay in Eckesey
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Beds sit in the city centre, not here. Eckesey works as a place to sleep only for someone with a reason to be beside the Liebfrauenkirche, and even then central Hagen holds the practical choice of rooms. The St. Petrus Canisius side is quieter still.
You trade choice for quiet, with Hagen's centre a short ride away.

About Eckesey
What are the main landmarks in Eckesey?
Both landmarks are churches. The Liebfrauenkirche gives Eckesey its Marian dedication, and the parish of St. Petrus Canisius supplies the second, so a walk through the district turns up two church fronts and little else that carries a name of its own. Hagen keeps its bigger sights elsewhere, which leaves Eckesey with a short list and a domestic scale.
Two fronts, one quarter.
What is the history of Eckesey?
Eckesey's written past is carried by its parishes, with the Liebfrauenkirche naming one congregation and St. Petrus Canisius the other, a saint's name set against a Marian one on the same district map. Past those two dedications, Eckesey's file runs out. What the district shows is the ordinary stock of a German city quarter, houses and shopfronts that carry no names of their own.
Eckesey keeps its history in two parishes.
Where is Eckesey?
Hagen surrounds Eckesey on every side, which makes the district a piece of a Nordrhein-Westfalen city rather than a settlement with outskirts of its own.
