Hamm

Among the cities of North Rhine-Westphalia, Hamm stands out for transforming the former Maximilian colliery into Maximilianpark, marked by its Glass Elephant. The city stretches along the Lippe River, while the Datteln–Hamm Canal ends here, reflecting Hamm’s place in the industrial transport network of the Ruhr area. Founded in 1226 by Count Adolf I of the Mark, Hamm was heavily destroyed during the Second World War and extensively rebuilt afterwards. In the Uentrop district, the Sri Kamadchi Ampal Temple is an important centre for the city’s Hindu community.
