My wife and I heard about it form another American women in Bochum: There is a mobile market (a lorry) that comes to Bochum frequently which offers food and some other stuff from the USA and the UK. Talking about it again, I was told about an website of that guy. It’s www.foodfromhome.de.
I had a short look at the page and here is my summarize: You can get all the stuff via mail order or from the mobile store which travels through North Rhine-Westphalia and parts of Holland (the Netherlands). The website contains a list with place where the mobile store with about 250 different items (out of more thatn 1,500 available) stops.
In Ruhr there are stops in Bochum (2nd Saturday in month, 13.15 – 13.45h at Starlight Express), Bottrop (2nd Saturday in month, 17.00 – 17.30h at carpark Osterfelder Straße/Hans-Böckler-Straße), Dortmund (2nd Saturday in month Rheinische Straße / Langestraße, 14.20 – 14.40h) and Duisburg (International School St. Georges School), 2nd Tuesday, 1st and 3rd Friday in month, 15.00 – 16.00, Birkenstraße 15, Tuesday at Kranichstraße 21), Essen (2nd Tuesday, 18.00 – 18.30h, ica halle Am Westbahnhof and 2nd Saturday in month, carpark at Barbarossa Platz), Gelsenkirchen (2nd Saturday, 12.30 – 12.50h, Ringstraße 75-80), Hamm (3rd (!) Saturday, 17.00 – 17.20h, Carl-Goerdeler-Straße 3) and Recklinghausen (2nd Saturday, 15.20 – 15.40h, carpark at Kemnastraße / Hertenerstraße).
You can get English magazines there, too. I’ll hopefull try it in May.
‘The Emscher Landscape Park – Welcome to the Central Park of Metropolis Ruhr” is the title of an English brochure by the Ruhr region association (Regionalverband Ruhr, RVR) in Essen. The park lies along the river Emscher. Due to industrialization the Emscher was more or less an open sewer but ongoing natural restoration transformed it into an area of leisure and recreation. The park itself is recognized as a successful project of industrial transformation.
This A4 brochure contains some pictures which give an impression of the Emscher Landscape Park and a map. It gives hints for further brochures about places in the park, e.g. for Haus Ripshorst and the industrial heritage route.
The brochure is available for free via the RVR shop.
