The map
Hattingen lies on the southern bank of the Ruhr, where the river swings in wide curves through a green valley. On a map, the medieval old town forms a small, rounded knot of narrow lanes on rising ground above the river. Later districts spread out along the valley and up the surrounding hills, with woodland and fields filling the gaps between them.
The old town is known for its well-preserved half-timbered houses, and the ruins of the Isenburg castle stand on a wooded hill above the Ruhr. Hattingen also shows the industrial side of the region. The Henrichshütte ironworks, which closed in the 1980s, is now an industrial museum, and its blast furnace is still a landmark.
A Hattingen map poster combines both stories. The dense medieval core, the broad bends of the river and the large industrial site make a composition with unusual contrast. It captures the southern Ruhr as a mix of old town, river valley and post-industrial landscape.
The compact old centre forms a round cluster of short, winding lanes. It contrasts clearly with the more open districts around it.
The river curves widely through the valley below the town. Its bends form the most striking natural shape on the poster.
The former ironworks covers a large area near the river. Its broad, open footprint is a reminder of the valley's industrial past.
