Recklinghausen Audio Tour: Echoes of Westviertel—History, Stars & Stories

Audio guide8 stops

Above the quiet rooftops of Westviertel, a telescope’s lens once glimpsed a cosmic secret that changed local history forever. Yet, just a few streets away, the echoes of bold court verdicts still resonate inside the imposing District Court of Recklinghausen. This self-guided audio tour winds through the beating heart of the city, revealing true tales of spectacle, defiance, and overlooked genius—stories most visitors never hear. Which desperate plan nearly set the Ruhrfestspielhaus ablaze during a forgotten protest night? What silent signals still linger in the shadows of the observatory? Who smuggled contraband through the courthouse under the judge’s nose, leaving an odd trace still visible today? Walk the borders of artistry and justice, move under skies shimmering with intrigue, and unlock Recklinghausen’s secrets step by step. Surrender to the city’s pulse and discover Westviertel as it has never revealed itself before. Plug in, and let the unveiling begin.
