Alstaden, Oberhausen — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Alstaden is one of Oberhausen's smaller districts, not quite four square kilometres of housing gathered around the Evangelische Kirche Alstaden.
About Alstaden
Where to stay in Alstaden
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Alstaden asks little of a visitor. Anyone booking here is choosing residential Oberhausen, streets of houses and small shops within an easy walk of the Evangelische Kirche Alstaden and the Saint Anthony of Padua Church rather than of any station concourse. Lodging is what Alstaden lacks.
You would take Alstaden for quiet and for the run across to Styrum, and take central Oberhausen instead when the trip needs a choice of beds.
About Alstaden
What are the main landmarks in Alstaden?
Alstaden's landmarks are its churches, and there are three worth the walk. The Evangelische Kirche Alstaden serves the Protestant congregation at the district's heart, and the Saint Anthony of Padua Church answers it for the Catholic parish a few streets over. Styrum supplies the third.
The Saint Joseph Church stands over that boundary and is listed with Alstaden's own, which shows how closely the two quarters of Oberhausen are stitched.
What is the history of Alstaden?
Three parishes, one small district. Alstaden's older story is written in its congregations: the Protestant one around the Evangelische Kirche Alstaden, the Catholic one at the Saint Anthony of Padua Church, and the neighbouring parish at Styrum whose Saint Joseph Church still turns up on Alstaden's own list. Oberhausen drew the boundary later.
What the district kept from before that line was its scale, a walkable few square kilometres that never grew a second centre.
Where is Alstaden?
Alstaden runs as a compact block of Oberhausen housing, reaching across to Styrum, whose Saint Joseph Church is counted among the district's landmarks.
