Where to stay in Wanne
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Rooms are a Herne question. The Heimat- und Naturkunde-Museum Wanne-Eickel and the churches around it are what bring anyone into Wanne, while the beds that serve them are spread across the wider city, Crange and Baukau included, rather than gathered in this one district. Herne's streets put St. Laurentius and the Christuskirche inside a short local ride.
That suits a museum visit.

About Wanne
What are the main landmarks in Wanne?
Wanne's register is mostly churches. The Christuskirche, the Lutherkirche, the Auferstehungskirche and St. Laurentius account for four of the five entries the district is credited with, a dense showing for one quarter of a Nordrhein-Westfalen city. The fifth is a museum.
Heimat- und Naturkunde-Museum Wanne-Eickel takes in local history and natural history together, and it is the one address here that a visitor might plan a whole morning around.
What is the history of Wanne?
If Wanne was ever chartered, the year is gone. The name reaches further than the district line, since the Heimat- und Naturkunde-Museum Wanne-Eickel carries it in compound form, and the four churches on the register are the buildings that hold whatever local memory the quarter keeps. Herne holds the rest.
The documented past belongs to the city in Nordrhein-Westfalen, and Wanne appears in it as one quarter among several.
