It is located in the northern part of the Ruhr area. Its population as of 31 December 2002 was 274,926. Gelsenkirchen was first documented in 1150, but it remained a tiny village until the 19th century, when the Industrial Revolution led to the growth of the entire area. In 1840, when the mining of coal began, 6000 inhabitants lived in Gelsenkirchen; in 1900 the population had increased to 138,000. In the early 20th century Gelsenkirchen was the most important coalmining town in Europe. It was called the "city of a thousand fires", for all its smoking stacks. In 1928 Gelsenkirchen was merged with the adjoining cities of Buer, Germany and Horst, Germany. The city bore the name Gelsenkirchen-Buer, until it was renamed Gelsenkirchen in 1930. During the Nazi Germany Gelsenkirchen remained a centre of coal production and oil refining, and for this reason it was bombed by Allied air raids in World War II. Today in Gelsenkirchen there are no collieries any more and Gelsenkirchen is searching for a new image. Today Germany's largest solar power plant is located in the city. In Gelsenkirchen-Scholven there is a coal fired power station with the tallest chimneys in Germany (302 metres). Gelsenkirchen is home of the Football (soccer) Bundesliga (football) FC Schalke 04. Schalke's home ground, Arena AufSchalke, shortly to take the name ''Veltins Arena'', is generally regarded as one of the most innovative stadiums built in recent years. == External links == * [http://www.gelsenkirchen.de/ Official city website.

Hello, I am from Gelsenkirchen (Germany). *1. ''During the Nazi era Gelsenkirchen was a centre of weapon and ammunition production,'' - incorrect (coal & oil) *2.

Vielleicht werde ich später die anderen Teile des Gelsenkirchen-Artikels übersetzen. Ich weiß ziemlich wenig über Gelsenkirchen, trotz meines Besuchs, der zwei Wochen gedauert hat. Das war aber vor vielen Jahren, in 1981.
