What are the main landmarks in Buschhausen?
Buschhausen leads with a church, and an unusual one. Tabgha is a youth church, a building given over to young congregations rather than to the ordinary parish week, and it is the name that carries the district furthest. Two parish churches back it up.
The Lutherkirche Buschhausen holds the Protestant side and the St. Josefkirche the Catholic, both named for the quarter they stand in.
What is the history of Buschhausen?
Churches gave the quarter its centre. The Lutherkirche Buschhausen took the Protestant congregation, and the St. Josefkirche took the Catholic one. Tabgha came later, a youth church added to a district that had already filled with housing as Oberhausen spread across this ground and pulled Buschhausen into the city.
Sterkrade sits next door, and the two quarters are so closely read together that Buschhausen's churches appear on Sterkrade's landmark list as readily as on its own.
Where is Buschhausen?
Buschhausen covers a wide residential slice of Oberhausen close to Sterkrade, ground that carries the Lutherkirche Buschhausen, the St. Josefkirche, and Tabgha.
