Where to stay in Stuckenbusch
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Stuckenbusch is residential and quiet. The Friedrich-Ebert-Straße is the main link into the middle of Recklinghausen and carries the bus routes that serve the district, which makes this an easy base for anyone who wants the town without staying in it. Most of the housing dates from after 1960.
About Stuckenbusch
What are the main landmarks in Stuckenbusch?
The neo-Romanesque St.-Franziskus-Kirche stands on the Friedrich-Ebert-Straße with a former Franciscan monastery and its garden attached. Inside is a copy of the San Damiano cross from Assisi, the crucifix before which Saint Francis is said to have received his calling, set against wall paintings done in a Byzantine manner in the 1980s. The Speith organ of 1908 has twenty-seven registers.
The Matthäuskirche is the district's other church.
What is the history of Stuckenbusch?
Stuckenbusch was rural ground until the middle of the twentieth century, and the housing that covers it now went up largely after 1960. A Franciscan house shaped the older part. The monastery beside the St.-Franziskus-Kirche ran from 1901 until 1969, and since the Franciscans left the buildings have held rented flats and rooms for the parish rather than a community.
Where is Stuckenbusch?
Stuckenbusch lies south of the centre of Recklinghausen, reached along the Friedrich-Ebert-Straße, which runs four lanes wide into the town. The ground is flat Westphalian country. What was open land within living memory is now continuous housing, and the district's edges are where that building stops rather than any natural line.
