WELCOME TO RUHR

Welcome in different languages

A warm welcome to the Ruhr Metropolis and thank you for visiting Amazing Capitals Ruhr! Interesting insights for relocating to the region include welcoming attitudes, accessibility and a large number of international companies. Enjoy using this comprehensive eGuide created for expats living in the cities, towns and rural areas of the Ruhr.

Whether you are preparing your move, have just arrived or are already a resident, we wish you a very enjoyable stay, much fun and many wonderful experiences in your new home.

The Ruhr has much to offer. A sprawling region, its residents are generally friendly, humble and welcoming once timidness is overcome. Events and happenings take place all year round. The airport in Düsseldorf and Dutch border are both nearby.

Over 25,000 enterprises and business owners in the Ruhr Region have a background from almost 160 countries. Some 3,000 on the Commercial Register come from more than 90 countries.

We keep this eGuide free to use through the support of sponsors. You will also notice the lack of insensitive banners and ads.

The more companies that become involved, the more established the eGuide can become and the more we can assist businesses or the Ruhr Metropolis to attract new talent and benefit those at the heart of the expat experience.

GERMAN FOR FUN

We stand in a foreign culture finding ourselves pointing, gesticulating and hoping to be understood. Many Germans speak at least some English. However, some expats relocating to the Ruhr Metropolis may wish to carry a few basic but helpful words with them for use in awkward moments.
