2019 — Ruhr, Germany

About this series

The Ruhr area is a polycentric urban area in Germany with big working class tradition. As demand for coal decreased after 1958, the area went through phases of structural crisis and industrial diversification. 

The people living there are very unique and far away from mainstream.
