City in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Mülheim , officially Mülheim an der Ruhr (Low German : Mölm ; Kölsch : Müllem ; German pronunciation: [ˈmyːlhaɪm ʔan deːɐ̯ ˈʁuːɐ̯] ⓘ "City on the River" , is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany . It is located in the Ruhr Area between Duisburg , Essen , Oberhausen and Ratingen . It is home to many companies, and two Max Planck Institutes .
Mülheim received its town charter in 1808, and 100 years later the population exceeded 100,000, making Mülheim officially a city. At the time of the city's 200th anniversary with approximately 170,000 residents, it was counted among the smaller cities of Germany.
Geography [ edit ]
Geographical location [ edit ]
Mülheim an der Ruhr is located to the southwest of Essen in the Ruhr valley.[3]
The bridge Mintarder Ruhrtalbrücke in Mülheim, crosses the Ruhr connecting Düsseldorf and Essen
Geology [ edit ]
The northern foothills of the Rhenish Massif are characterised by the distinctive rock formation of the bare mountain slopes through which run coal-bearing layers which formed during the carboniferous period. Here the Ruhr cuts more than 50 meters deep into this Mittelgebirge . This natural erosion partly uncovered these mineable black coal deposits, which enabled their exploration and extraction using adits . However, the coal-rich layers became ever deeper as one progressed northward, which required setting up mines to extract the black coal. In contrast, the broad bayou (dead arm of a river) of Styrum borough is characteristic of the features of the Lower Rhine Plain.[4]
Transport [ edit ]
The U18 metro line connects the city with Essen .[5]
