Haus Ruhreck+

Haus Ruhreck is an entrepreneur's villa in the Boele district of the city of Hagen in the southeastern Ruhr area.

The manufacturer Caspar Diedrich Killing (owner of the Killing & Sons wagon factory) had the house built in the style of a castle in 1878 and named it Killingsburg. After separating from his wife, a born Ziegenbein, the house passed into her possession. Renamed Haus Ruhreck, it has remained in the possession of the Rempke community of heirs to this day.
