Map showing Vest Recklinghausen, the Electorate of Cologne, and nearby cities.
Vest Recklinghausen was an ecclesiastical territory in the Holy Roman Empire, located in the center of today's North Rhine-Westphalia. The rivers Emscher and Lippe formed the border with the County of Mark and Essen Abbey in the south, and to the Bishopric of Münster in the north. In the east, a fortification secured the border with Dortmund and in the west it was bordered by the Duchy of Cleves.
Today Vest Recklinghausen is divided into the Kreis Recklinghausen as well as the city of Bottrop, the northern half of Gelsenkirchen and the Osterfeld Borough of Oberhausen. The term Vest, which denotes a type of judicial district, is still used locally, for instance by a local radio station, a Shopping mall, a Bank and the municipal public transport company Vestische Straßenbahnen GmbH.
