Ridder, Industrial city in East Kazakhstan Region, Kazakhstan.
The city lies in the southwestern Altai Mountains at 730 meters elevation along the Ulba River, surrounded by four complex ore mines.
Philip Ridder established the settlement in 1786 after discovering deposits of gold, silver, copper, and lead in the mountainous region.
The population includes a mix of Russians, Kazakhs, Germans, Tatars, and Ukrainians, representing the multicultural nature of East Kazakhstan.
The European route E40 connects Ridder with western Siberia and Central Asia, making it a transportation hub for mining and manufacturing products.
The Riddersky ores received recognition at the 1850 London World Exhibition and became part of the Stockholm Royal Technical Institute collection.
