Endecken Sie Nordrhein-Westfalen - den neuen "grünen" Pott

baldeney see nordrhein westfalenMit rund 17,9 Millionen Einwohnern ist Nordrhein-Westfalen das bevölkerungsreichste, flächenbezogen mit rund 34.100 Quadratkilometern das viertgrößte deutsche Bundesland. 30 der 81 deutschen Großstädte liegen in seinem stark urbanisierten Gebiet.

Den nördlichen Teil des Ballungsraums Rhein-Ruhr bildet das stark verstädterte Ruhrgebiet mit den Zentren Dortmund, Essen, Duisburg und Bochum. Dessen wirtschaftlicher Aufstieg basierte im frühen 19. Jahrhundert auf der Industrialisierung und der Montanindustrie, insbesondere dem Erz- und Kohlebergbau.

Die Route der Industriekultur steuert als touristische Themenstraße die wichtigsten industriegeschichtlichen Stätten des Ruhrgebiets an und dient als Ausgangsbasis für die Vermarktung des Ruhrgebiets als Tourismusregion.

Im Ruhrgebiet befinden sich zahlreiche Technik- und Industriemuseen wie das Deutsche Bergbau-Museum in Bochum, das Museum der Deutschen Binnenschifffahrt in Duisburg, das Umspannwerk Recklinghausen, die DASA – Arbeitswelt Ausstellung und das Hoesch-Museum in Dortmund, das Eisenbahnmuseum Bochum-Dahlhausen in Bochum und die dezentralen Museen Westfälisches Industriemuseum und Rheinisches Industriemuseum. Außerdem gibt es auch im Ruhrgebiet mehrere Kunstmuseen wie das Museum Folkwang in Essen, das Lehmbruck-Museum und Museum Küppersmühle in Duisburg, die Ludwig-Galerie im Schloss Oberhausen, das Karl-Ernst-Osthaus-Museum Hagen oder das Museum Ostwall in Dortmund. Mit der Eröffnung der Kulturhauptstadt 2010 wurde das Ruhrlandmuseum als Ruhr Museum in der ehemaligen Kohlenwäsche der Zeche Zollverein neu eröffnet. Die Zeche und Kokerei Zollverein in Essen wurde 2001 von der UNESCO zum Welterbe erklärt. Essen war 2010 stellvertretend für die Region europäische Kulturhauptstadt.
