Where to stay in Röhlinghausen
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Zeche Hannover is the reason to put Röhlinghausen on an itinerary, and it changes the calculation only a little, because the rooms still sit in Herne rather than in the quarter itself. Röhlinghausen offers hardly a room. A Herne address keeps Zeche Hannover, the Zwölf-Apostel-Kirche and Haus Gosewinkel inside one short local run, which is what a half-day in Röhlinghausen actually needs.

About Röhlinghausen
What are the main landmarks in Röhlinghausen?
Seven entries, and one of them draws visitors. Zeche Hannover, the LWL-Industriemuseum, is the address that gives Röhlinghausen a reason to appear on a Nordrhein-Westfalen itinerary rather than only on a city map. The churches make up most of the rest.
The Zwölf-Apostel-Kirche, the Heilig-Geist-Kirche, the Versöhnungskirche and the Lutherkirche stand alongside St. Joseph, while Haus Gosewinkel accounts for the one entry that is neither a church nor the museum.
What is the history of Röhlinghausen?
Röhlinghausen came into the record without a date. Its visible past is industrial, kept as a museum at Zeche Hannover, where the LWL collection for industrial culture carries the colliery name the site was given. Churches supply the older layer.
The Lutherkirche and the Zwölf-Apostel-Kirche are among the buildings that carry it, standing in a district Herne records as one of its own quarters in Nordrhein-Westfalen.
Where is Röhlinghausen?
Röhlinghausen carries more named ground than most Herne quarters, with five churches, Haus Gosewinkel and the Zeche Hannover museum inside it.
