About Altendorf-Ulfkotte
What are the main landmarks in Altendorf-Ulfkotte?
Heilig Kreuz is the one building the register names. The church stands for the whole quarter in the record, which lists no museum, no hall and no monument beside it for Altendorf-Ulfkotte. Recklinghausen keeps the rest.
A visitor working through this corner of Germany will find Heilig Kreuz the fixed point and the parent city the place where the named collections and galleries actually are.
What is the history of Altendorf-Ulfkotte?
Two names survive in one hyphen. Altendorf and Ulfkotte are joined in the label the register uses, and nothing further, no charter, no founding year, no incorporation date, is entered for the quarter. Heilig Kreuz is the only building named.
That leaves the church and the compound name as the whole of what the written record hands on, so the quarter's past is a matter for local memory rather than for the register.
Where is Altendorf-Ulfkotte?
Altendorf and Ulfkotte are the two halves the name carries, and both fall inside Recklinghausen, in Germany. No extent is recorded.
