Moving to Gelsenkirchen
Gelsenkirchen is a German city situated in North Rhine-Westphalia and having a population of about 267,000 inhabitants.
Historically mentioned for the first time in 1150 as a small village, Gelsenkirchen owes its development to the Industrial Revolution, mainly coal mining. Its population grew therefore from 6000 in 1840 (when exploitation of coal started) to 138,000 in 1900.
In 1928, by associating Gelsenkirchen with cities of Buer and Horst (de), the city Gelsenkirchen-Buer was born, resuming the name Gelsenkirchen in 1930.
Surnamed the “city of a thousand fires”, due to the flames of mine gasses flashing at night, Gelsenkirchen was considered to be the most important coal mining town at the beginning of 20th century.
During World War II Gelsenkirchen, as a coal mining and oil refining center, was the bombing target of the Allied. It also hosted a women’s subcamp of the Buchenwald concentration camp.
Today all collieries disappeared and Gelsenkirchen became a center of solar technology where can be found Germany’s largest solar power plant. Companies such as Shell Solar Deutschland GmbH and . Scheuten Solar Technology are involved in this area, producing solar cells and solar panels. Other important business companies in Gelsenkirchen are: TreuHandStelle, Gelsenwasser e.on, BP Gelsenkirchen GmbH, Pilkington.
Gelsenkirchen is considered by Bertelsmann Foundation one of the business-friendliest German cities (after Leipzig, Karlsruhe and Bremen). It also hosts the football club Schalke 04 and a zoo established in 1949.

Moving to Essen
Located in the heart of the coal and steelmaking area of Ruhr, part of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Essen is Germany’s ninth most populous city, at 570,000 inhabitants.
Historians believe Essen was founded around the year 845, but the city began to develop tremendously at the onset of the Industrial Revolution, when many coal mines and steel works opened in the Ruhr region. Essen’s name is tied to that of the Krupp family, owners of the steelworks of the same name. Since the seventies, the coal and steel industry has been declining, taking its toll on the city’s population, which dropped from 730,000 inhabitants in the early sixties.
Essen is also a center of culture, and, as a recognition of its role, it was designated the European Capital of Culture along with the other regions of the Ruhr urban area. Since 1958, the Catholic diocese of Ruhr is located in the city and the merged university of Duisburg-Essen has a campus and a university hospital here.
A testimony to the city’s coal mining legacy, Essen’s foremost landmark is the Zollverein Industrial Complex, a former coal mine and coke complex that closed down in the nineties. The winding tower siting at the top of the coal mine’s main shaft, built in the distinctive Bauhaus style, is considered the city’s symbol, a masterpiece that was inducted in the UNESCO World Heritage Site patrimony.
The complex was long neglected, but in recent years, the local authorities have acted to preserve and redevelop the area. Currently, several art and design studios work within the old industrial complex, and there’s hope that more will follow in the future. The complex is freely accessible and paid tours are frequently organized. The highlights of the tours are the Red Dot Design Museum and the Ruhrmuseum, dedicated to the history of the region, which functions since 2010 in a former coal-washing factory.
