Hattingens Altstadt is considered unique in northwestern Germany: 150 half-timbered houses are preserved as an ensemble around the St. George's Church. Between these excellently renovated facades of half-timbered lanes winding streets with ever new picturesque views, behind the black-and-white gables with a lot of flower arrangements are small shops with a wealth of appealing offers.

Hattingen was founded in 1396. In the 1960s, a decision was made to renovate the almost 150 medieval half-timbered houses and thus preserve the old town centre. And today is very lucky.
Many other cities have demolished the old houses; in Hattingen you can stroll through the old streets and admire the beautiful houses.

The old town of Hattingen is a popular destination with its almost 150 medieval half-timbered houses. They are an expression of the bourgeois will in the city, which spoke out in the 1960s against a land rehabilitation and for the object refurbishment. The traffic-free pedestrian zone is one of the first in Germany. Today, the city center is attractive and especially busy. The houses are coveted and valuable real estate.
The most famous historic buildings of the city are the St. George's Church, the Old Town Hall, the bell tower and because of its shape so-called iron house from the 17th century with the "museum in the iron house (MiBEH)" of the home club Hattingen / Ruhr eV From 1771 to 1856 clothmakers lived in this building and made cloth on their looms. Crows and beams with volutes and mask carvings determine the appearance of the façade. A stumbling block in front of the building commemorates the last Jewish owner of the house, Selma Abraham b. Cahn.
