Fully equipped housing for workers, tradesmen and entire teams – right in the heart of the "wire town" in the Lenne valley. Kitchen, Wi-Fi, washing machine and a video-monitored car park. From 15 € per night per person.
Altena has been the heart of Germany's wire and metal industry for over 100 years. Those who work here come for assembly, maintenance and installation jobs – and need reliable accommodation close to the plants.
Altena – the "wire town" – and the surrounding Lenne valley are packed with wire-drawing mills, cold-rolling plants and metal processors. There is constant demand for external fitters for machinery and maintenance work.
Around Altena, Lüdenscheid and Werdohl sits one of the strongest clusters of mid-sized automotive suppliers and electrical engineering firms in NRW – with regular project and assembly assignments.
Short distances between plants: from Altena you can reach the industrial estates across the entire Märkischer Kreis district in under 30 minutes – ideal for changing work sites.
Altena is conveniently located in the Lenne valley on the B236, with a rail link (Lennetalbahn) and fast access to the A45. Typical driving times by car:
| Work site | Distance | Driving time approx. |
|---|---|---|
| Werdohl | ~ 12 km | 15 min |
| Lüdenscheid | ~ 16 km | 20 min |
| Iserlohn | ~ 17 km | 20 min |

Our apartments in Altena are set up for teams: a fully equipped kitchen for self-catering, a washing machine for longer assignments, fast Wi-Fi for the paperwork – and a video-monitored car park for company vehicles and tools.
High above the town sits Burg Altena – the castle where the world's first youth hostel was founded in 1914. After your shift, the Lenne valley, the old town and the surrounding Sauerland forests are ideal for winding down. Shops, restaurants and petrol stations are all just a few minutes away.
In short: work in one of NRW's strongest industrial regions – and live quietly and affordably right in the middle of it.
