Culture everywhere for everyone
How does an entire region become the European Capital of Culture? Simple: when 53 neighbouring cities and counties come together to form the Project Ruhr 2010. Their ultimate goal: to make art accessible for everyone!
Previously known for its coal mining and steel production, the Ruhr region around Essen has undergone an amazing transformation. With its enviable number of museums, historical industrial landmarks, theatres and recreational areas, the Ruhr is now a region of culture. Proud of how the area has developed, the 5.3 million people making up its population want to share their achievement. The program they’ve put together as the European Capital of Culture 2010 runs from January through December. The Maritim Hotel Gelsenkirchen is not far from the Veltins Arena and the perfect starting place for excursions into the entire region.
Double room: 165 €
Single room: 237 €
