We have collected several interesting facts and figures about the Ruhr area, which we are about to present to you now. In particular, we concentrate on the regions, the area

and the population.

The background photo, which will come up more often during the presentation, was taken in the northern part of

Duisburg.

We appreciate your attention and hope that you will find our presentation interesting and informative.

Football

Football has an important social function in the Ruhr area. The two biggest clubs in this region are Borussia Dortmund (BVB) and FC Schalke 04 (S04).

Matches between these two rivalling clubs are considered to be among the highlights of the season, and - like all games between the Ruhr clubs - they are called "derbies".

BVB, Schalke and MSV Duisburg are founding members of the Bundesliga, the highest football league in Germany. VfL Bochum is one of the oldest modern Bundesliga clubs.
