Essen ~ a city with many sides to its character

The Ruhr area - an industrial region in the midst of change. Before rising to become the largest city in the Ruhr area, Essen experienced a prosperous mediaeval epoch whose marks and signs still give the city a nostalgic image today.

Essen and its surroundings offer unexpected opportunities for recreational activities.

The historic monuments of industrial history like Zeche Zollverein for example, a World Heritage Site, provide insight into past times.

Essen's Astra Kino dating back to 1958 and the largest art film theatre since 1995 is located with a separate entrance within the TOP CCL HOTEL ESSENER HOF.
