About Sodingen
What are the main landmarks in Sodingen?
Four entries, no two alike. Fachwerkhof Haus Kranenberg is the one that stands out, a half-timbered farmstead of the kind that survives in pockets across Nordrhein-Westfalen, and it gives Sodingen something older than its street plan. Sodingen's church pair comes next.
The Johanniskirche and the parish church of St. Peter und Paul carry the church side of the register, while LAGO appears on the same list under a name the record leaves unexplained.
What is the history of Sodingen?
Sodingen appears as de Sothinkge around 1150, in the cartulary of the abbey of Werden. Fachwerkhof Haus Kranenberg is the closest thing the quarter has to a dated survival, a half-timbered courtyard farm of a type that predates the built-up ground around it. Everything else is parish.
The Johanniskirche stands for that layer, and Herne took the quarter in during 1928, the Nordrhein-Westfalen city that lists Sodingen beside Börnig and Baukau.
Where is Sodingen?
Sodingen sits inside the Herne boundary in Nordrhein-Westfalen, ground the register marks with two churches, a half-timbered farmstead and LAGO.
