Gummersbach: Oberbergisches Land, Steinmueller Engineering, and the Agger Valley's District Capital
Gummersbach has a population around 53,000 and lies in the Oberbergisches Land (Upper Bergisch Land) of Nordrhein-Westfalen, in the Agger valley about 50 kilometres east of Cologne. The town serves as the capital of the Oberbergischer Kreis. Steinmueller, the boiler and power plant engineering company, was the town's major industrial employer before its decline. VfL Gummersbach, one of Germany's most successful handball clubs, won multiple national and European titles.
The Oberbergisches Land is a hilly, forested region distinct from both the Ruhr industrial belt and the flat Rhineland. The Aggertalsperre, a reservoir south of the town, provides drinking water and recreation. The Technische Hochschule Koeln has a campus in Gummersbach. The town's centre was rebuilt after a 1968 fire destroyed parts of the historic core. Cologne is reachable in about an hour by regional train. Adult companionship follows NRW's regulatory framework.
