Hillen is a former farming community and is now a district of Recklinghausen , in the district of the same name in North Rhine-Westphalia .

The district is located southeast of the city center and stretches from the district building south of the city center (crossing at Dordrechtring : 63.7  m above sea level ) to the Ostcharweg , the historical border between the city of Recklinghausen and the former rural community of Recklinghausen . In the nominal district area lies the Fritzberg ( 113  m ), the highest elevation of the Vestische Höhenrücken with the old water tower and the radio tower, which, however, are separated from the actual Hillen by a significant difference in height and the eastern cemetery in between on the southern slope.

Alt-Hillen lies immediately to the east and south of the Liebfrauenkirche ; from there the younger residential area Quellberg stretches uphill to the east. The Frankenweg (in the western part today Douaistraße ), a historic long-distance road, limits the Quellberg to the north to the slopes of the Fritzberg.

In the far north of the district, the August-Schmidt-Ring leads from the Westphalian University through uninhabited area to the Fritzberg and is part of the long-distance connection to Oer-Erkenschwick and Datteln . The Castroper Straße , which crosses the ring vertically , connects the Recklinghausen city center with Suderwich and Castrop-Rauxel .

The Quellberg has its own small district center near the middle of the North Sea Road . For this, the road from Old Hillen Hillen , the further east on Quellberg 's. The streets of the Quellberg are mostly named after the North Frisian and West Frisian Islands .

Two bus lines (213, 235) and a night line (201) run by Vestische Straßenbahnen GmbH through Hillen .
