Gladbeck, Large district town in Recklinghausen, Germany.
Gladbeck extends across 36 square kilometers in North Rhine-Westphalia, situated between 52 and 60 meters above sea level in the northern Ruhr region.
The settlement emerged from five farming communities and received its official town charter in 1919 during the period of industrial growth from coal mining.
The medieval Wittringen Castle now functions as a museum complex, surrounded by 100 hectares of municipal forest that serves the community.
Three railway stations connect the town to major transportation routes, while postal codes from 45964 to 45968 serve different sections of the municipality.
The last coal mine closed in 1971, transforming the local economy from mining to diverse industries including chemicals, glass, and pollution control equipment.
