Recklinghausen is a city in the Ruhr Area in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is the capital of the district Recklinghausen.

Recklinghausen is home to a museum of icons, which includes more than 1,000 Orthodox works from Russia, Greece and the Balkan countries, as well as early Coptic Christian art from Egypt. The icon museum - the largest outside the Orthodox world - was founded in 1956 and is due to reopen after renovation in early 2006 for its 50th anniversary.
