Tips from the Community

April 12, 2025, Blaues Haus Königshardt

A striking landmark in the north of Oberhausen: The Blue House in Königshardt is not only an architectural landmark, but also a lively meeting place in the district. Built in 1974 as the "Strobl House," the striking building complex with its blue cladding now houses apartments, shops, and restaurants.  Of particular note is the Ristorante Rossini on the ground floor, which serves Mediterranean specialties from South Tyrol to Sicily. A look at the Blue House is worthwhile not only for its architectural features, but also for the vibrant environment surrounding it. It's an ideal place for a short break with urban flair and culinary delights.

A charming little town on the edge of the Ruhr area. Movie Park, Grafenmühle, and the Haniel slag heap are all in close proximity.

So lovingly prepared and if you are thirsty or need a snack, you can get one from the vending machine for a reasonable price. There is also a toilet available.

A nice place to linger and have something tasty to drink or snack on... If you're on a bike ride, be sure to stop at the "Break Meadow"... We'd love to come back 😃

The Grafenmühle leisure centre (access via the "Zur Grafenmühle" road) offers a break from everyday life. The grounds include a large pond, two mini-golf courses beautifully embedded in the surrounding greenery, as well as archery stands, a mini-car track, pony rides, bowling alleys, trampolines and many other attractions.
