Bergkamen, Medium-sized district town in Unna, Germany

Located in North Rhine-Westphalia, Bergkamen stretches across 44.8 square kilometers of land, positioned between the cities of Dortmund and Hamm.

The municipality emerged in 1966 through the consolidation of five separate communities, marking a significant reorganization of the regional administrative structure.

The Municipal Museum houses Roman artifacts and connects visitors to the archaeological site Roemerlager, presenting evidence of early settlements in the region.

The town maintains multiple educational facilities from primary to comprehensive schools, along with sports centers and public transportation connections to surrounding cities.

The 1946 mining catastrophe at Bergkamen claimed 418 lives in one of Germany's most severe industrial accidents, fundamentally changing the community's relationship with coal mining.
