Heckinghausen

Heckinghausen stretches across 5.66 square kilometers of land, incorporating three residential quarters with elevations ranging from 160 to 321 meters above sea level.

The district first appeared in Beyenburger fiscal records from 1466, documenting several full farms, and later developed into an industrial center near the Wupper River.

The Lutheran church at Heidt and a preserved half-timbered house from 1608 on Spiekerstraße represent architectural elements from different periods in the district.

The district maintains direct connections to federal roads and public transportation systems, including the suspension railway that serves the local population of 22,459 residents.

A gas container from 1950 and an old customs bridge constructed in 1775 stand as industrial monuments marking the district's manufacturing heritage.
