About this place
Oberhausen is a city of about 209,000 people in North Rhine-Westphalia, part of Germany's dense Ruhr region. Once defined by heavy industry, Oberhausen today is known for its transformation — the former gasometer is an anchor point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage and the city hosts an international short film festival. The compact core sits within easy reach of Düsseldorf and the surrounding Ruhr cities, making it a practical stop on a regional itinerary.

Planning Tips
- Buy transit tickets before boarding — ticket machines are located at the transitway stops; single adult fare within the city is €3.30 as of early 2024.
- Emission sticker for drivers — if arriving by car, ensure you have a green pollution sticker on your windshield to enter the environmental zone.
- Use the streetcar line 112 — high-frequency service between the central station and Sterkrade connects you reliably to the centro shopping area at Neue Mitte.
- Access by boat — there's a small marina near Centro Mall for those arriving by private watercraft.
