This is what the Ruhr area tastes like! The food in the Ruhr region is like its people: directly from a pot with various ingredients. With industrialization and mining, many immigrants arrived, first from former Silesia and East Prussia, then from Italy. Each brought their own ingredient. The Ruhr area has since transformed, moving away from mining towards tourism, technology, and services. The dishes are no longer designed to satisfy a hard-working shift worker in the mines. However, with the closure of the last mines, interest in traditions, including culinary ones, is on the rise. From beer soup and Potthast to Ruhrpottburger and currywurst, you can find both familiar and now established dishes here.
