Bottrop, Industrial city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
Bottrop extends across both sides of the Rhine-Herne Canal, featuring nine distinct districts including Fuhlenbrock, Eigen, and Kirchhellen at an elevation of 55 meters.
The settlement transformed from a small farming village into a major mining center during the 1860s, receiving its official city status in 1921.
The Quadrat museum displays local history exhibits and artworks by Josef Albers, while the city maintains numerous Catholic and Protestant religious buildings.
The central location within the Ruhr metropolitan region connects Bottrop to neighboring cities Essen, Oberhausen, and Gladbeck through multiple transportation routes.
The Tetraeder observation platform, constructed as a walkable steel structure, stands as a symbol of the transition from coal mining to modern industry.
