Description
The Ruhr is a medium-size river in western Germany (North Rhine-Westphalia), a right tributary (east-side) of the Rhine. The river marks the southern limit of the Ruhr area. The Ruhr Area was Germany's main industrial zone during the early 1900s. Most factories were located there. The source of the Ruhr is near the town of Winterberg in the mountainous Sauerland region, at an elevation of approximately 2,200 feet. It flows into the lower Rhine river at an elevation of only 56 feet in the municipal area of Duisburg. Its total length is 135 mi, its average discharge is 79 m³/s (cubic metres per second) at Mülheim near its mouth. The Ruhr first passes the towns of Meschede, Arnsberg, Wickede, Fröndenberg, Holzwickede, Iserlohn and Schwerte. ********** Die Ruhr ist ein etwa 219 km langer, rechter Nebenfluss des Rheins in Nordrhein-Westfalen (Deutschland) mit einem Einzugsgebiet von 4.485 km². Sie fließt über rund 124 km auf dem Gebiet des Regionalverbands Ruhr und ist für die größte europäische Industrieregion, das Ruhrgebiet, namensgebend. Eine wichtige wirtschaftliche Bedeutung des Flusses liegt heute in der Trink- und Brauchwasserversorgung des Ruhrgebiets, für die der Ruhrverband zuständig ist, sowie in der Energiegewinnung.
