Witten: Ruhr University Satellite, Zeche Nachtigall, and the Southern Ruhr's Green Edge
Witten has a population around 101,000 and sits on the Ruhr river at the southern edge of the Ruhr area in Nordrhein-Westfalen. The Zeche Nachtigall, a restored 19th-century coal mine on the banks of the Ruhr, is now part of the LWL-Industriemuseum and one of the most atmospheric industrial heritage sites in the region. The Muttental, a valley south of the city, preserves early mining traces dating to the 16th century along a marked heritage trail.
The Universitaet Witten/Herdecke, Germany's oldest private university, was founded in 1982 and has around 3,000 students, particularly known for its medical and dental programmes. The Hohenstein promontory offers views over the Ruhr valley. Witten borders Bochum to the north and Dortmund to the east; the southern parts of the city are greener and hillier than the typical Ruhr landscape. The Kemnader See, a reservoir shared with Bochum, is a popular recreation spot. The Saalbau Witten is a cultural venue that has hosted concerts since 1895. Adult companionship follows NRW's regulatory framework.
