Useful information:
The Ruhr is a right and eastern tributary of the Rhine in Germany. It originates on the Ruhrkopf in the Rothaargebirge and after passing under 160 bridges, it flows into the Rhine at Duisburg-Ruhrort. It flows through cities such as Dortmund, Hagen, Witten, Bochum, Essen, Mühlheim an der Ruhr, and Duisburg.
The river gave its name to the Ruhr area, where the region's industrialization began. Today, the Ruhr plays an important role in the drinking and industrial water supply of the Ruhr area, as well as for energy generation with numerous hydroelectric power plants. In addition, it serves as a recreational area.
