City guide
Essen
Essen is the de facto capital of Germany's Ruhr region, a former coal and steel city built by the Krupp dynasty and now recast as one of the country's greenest urban areas. Its Zollverein coal mine complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, anchors a city that also holds Lake Baldeney and the Museum Folkwang.
