Living in Tichelwerk, Hengelo

Tichelwerk is one of the quieter residential neighbourhoods on the eastern side of Hengelo, nestled between Deldenerstraat, Bornsestraat and the greenery towards Delden. The neighbourhood takes its name from the former brick factory that once stood here. The vast majority of homes date from the 1960s and 1970s: think terraced houses with front and back gardens, porch flats and a few smaller apartment complexes. In recent years, new-build homes have been added in several places, making the streetscape more varied. The atmosphere is predominantly quiet and green, with wide pavements and many mature trees along the streets.

With 3,460 residents, Tichelwerk is not a large neighbourhood, but its composition is striking: the largest age group is 65-plus (1,020 people), followed by 45- to 65-year-olds (870). This gives the neighbourhood a calm, established character. At the same time, there are also families and younger households, although single-person households are clearly in the majority at 915.
