The Quellberg in Recklinghausen offers a good view of the country.

Hillen is a former peasantry and today's district of Recklinghausen in the district of the same name in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The district is located southeast of the city center and stretches from the district building south of the city center (intersection at Dordrechtring: 63.7 m above sea level) to the Ostcharweg, the historical border between the city of Recklinghausen and the former rural community of Recklinghausen. In the nominal district area lies the Fritzberg (113 m), the highest elevation of the Vestische Höhenrücken with the old water tower and the radio tower, which, however, are separated from the actual Hillen by a significant difference in height and the eastern cemetery in between on the southern slope.

Alt-Hillen is located immediately to the east and south of the Liebfrauenkirche; from there the younger residential area Quellberg stretches uphill to the east. The Frankenweg (in the western part today Douaistraße), a historic trunk road, borders the Quellberg to the north to the slopes of the Fritzberg.

In the far north of the district, the August-Schmidt-Ring leads from the Westphalian University through uninhabited area to the Fritzberg and is part of the long-distance connection to Oer-Erkenschwick and Datteln. The Castroper Straße, which crosses the ring vertically, in turn connects the Recklinghausen city center with Suderwich and Castrop-Rauxel.

The Quellberg has its own small district center near the middle of the North Sea Road. The Hillen road, which is called Am Quellberg further east, leads to this from Alt-Hillen. The streets of the Quellberg are mostly named after the North Frisian and East Frisian Islands.

Two bus lines (213, 235) and a night line (201) run by Vestische Straßenbahnen GmbH go through Hillen
