The "Chicago of the Ruhr" was the nickname given to Oberhausen when it was founded. This industrial city amazes its visitors.

And, of course, you'll keep coming across traces of industrialisation, without which the Ruhr would not be the Ruhr.
There are fun tasks and tricky questions at the stops. Pay attention and look carefully, then you will know for example, why a school looks like a church.

It's like being shown Oberhausen's city centre by a good friend.
