Welcome to the 3rd Ruhrphlog.
Today we look on some of the history of the Ruhrgebiet.
The first settlements on the area of the Ruhrgebiet, for example in Dortmund, are from the neolithic age. Since then...[no. Come on. Keep it short.]
All right...
Well...ehm...Yes.
At the end of the 18th century and in the beginning of the 19th century, some people found stone cole in the Muttental near Witten.
You can see it here.
Over hunderds of years it evolved to a conglomerate of mines, residential areas and agricultural areas.
Since the cole had to be transported, was the fact that the Ruhr flows into the Rhein a nice correlation. That's why it's called Ruhrgebiet. For a longe time the Ruhr was used as a transportation.
Thereby that the Emscher, as you can see here, flows through the mibble of the Ruhrgebiet, it had to be called "Emschergebiet".
But since it started at the Ruhr and expanded further north. That's why it's called Ruhrgebiet.
Thus far with the histoy of the Ruhrgebiet. At least the first part.
Let us read the calendar quote of the day.
"The worst dictatorships, are those who disguise themselves as attendance, if not as the fulfil of old desires of humanity" Burkhard Spinnen.
Spiders? What ever...
Well. That is all for now. See you next time.
