Gladbeck

Gladbeck occupies a lowland setting along the Boye in the northern Ruhr area of North Rhine-Westphalia. The city stands between the industrial centres of Essen, Bottrop and Gelsenkirchen, where the coal-and-steel era shaped settlement, work and transport across the region. Gladbeck’s mining past remains visible in the former Zweckel colliery, whose monumental machine hall has been retained as an industrial monument and event venue. Schloss Wittringen, a moated manor in parkland, provides a markedly older counterpoint to that heritage. Today, green spaces and cycling routes connect neighbourhoods within the densely populated Ruhr conurbation.
