Bergkamen: a great place to be

Founded in 1966 by the merging of 6 smaller communities, Bergkamen is still a young city, located at the north-eastern part of the Ruhr Area. Surrounded by the large cities Dortmund and Hamm, the former mining region is now at the process of structural change. Nevertheless, the town offers a number of outstanding leisure activities as well as cultural highlights!

Although Bergkamen was founded only about 40 years ago, the town's history reaches back to ancient Roman times - documented by the Municipal Museum that displays valuable ancient finds and carries out interesting projects to give visitors a lively insight into these bygone days.

Another extraordinary attraction is the well-known Westphalian Sports Boat Centre - Marina Rünthe, situated right at the Datteln-Hamm Canal. Watersports enthusiasts and visitors find equally pleasant conditions here and are welcome to enjoy a charming maritime atmosphere together with a variety of gastronomical delights.

Apart from that, cultural highlights such as theatres and art galleries don't come off badly in Bergkamen. A large audience frequently visits the "studio theater" and the art gallery "sohle 1" which offer inspiring performances and exhibitions. Besides, Bergkamen is a lively town whose many cultural events such as the Harbour Festival, the Light Market and the newly installed End of Holidays Party attract visitors from all over the region.

We're looking forward to welcoming you in Bergkamen, a dynamic town "striking out for new shores"!



Westphalian Sports Boat Centre - Marina Rünthe

In former times, the port reflected the dirt and dust of the coal mining industry - now it's a modern Sports Boat Centre full of Mediterranean flair and a relaxing atmosphere! 35.000 m² of water area and 310 moorings invite skippers and visitors to rest at this maritime attraction situated where Ruhr Area and Münsterland meet.

The beautiful promenade offers visitors a wonderful view of the boats in the marina. Apart from that, footpaths and cycle tracks, water sports facilities and a fitness centre attract sports enthusiasts from all over the region. The nearby nature reserve 'Beversee' provides strollers with attractive footpaths in the middle of a beautiful countryside. On top, the 'Santa Monika III' and 'MS Hildegard' excursion boats take passengers from Rünthe Marina on round-trip excursions on the Datteln-Hamm Canal. Boats can be loan from several charter firms to explore the Ruhr Area sports boat region and boat driving license schools offer compact courses for anyone who wants to obtain a boat license.

Skippers find modern summer as well as winter moorings suitable for the disabled with a slip construction, a crane, a petrol station, modern sanitation facilities and local firms offering boat repairs.

Delicious dishes - from Chinese-Mongolian to home-style - are served in a stylish setting at the 'Am Yachthafen' restaurant, the 'Achterdeck' floating bistro, the restaurant 'Gate to Asia' and the 'Neumann's Nautilus Hotel & Restaurant', the latter also offering 13 single and double rooms all year round. Additionally, the marina has been constantly extended during the last years and in 2007 vacation apartments and camper van parking spaces were newly set up.

If you seek any further information don't hesitate to contact the tourist information point right at the marina or surf the web on yachthafen-marina-ruenthe.de (in German). If you are interested in leasing moorings, please contact Mr. Thorsten Nustede, Hafenweg 30, 59192 Bergkamen, phone: +49 2389 3163. Or just relax and glance briefly at the beautiful harbour district using the recently installed webcam!



Bergkamen surrounded by nature -
The nature reserves 'Beversee' and 'Lippeaue' and the mining tip 'Großes Holz'

Nature enthusiasts will love the varied flora and fauna of the popular destinations 'Lippeaue', 'Beversee' and 'Großes Holz', all three offering attractive footpaths, cycle tracks and pleasant sites for picnic. Whereas the 'Lippeaue' is famous for its diverse bird fauna and the partially restored Lippe River, the redesigned and greened over Großes Holz mining tip entraces people with a beautiful view reaching far into the Münsterland or the City of Hamm. In winter you may even spot some snow-covered Sauerland peaks and if the weather's fine you can see the high-rising Dortmund television tower.


(Photo: Milk)


The coal mining era had an impact even on the natural areas in Bergkamen, the 'Beversee' being created as a consequence of subsidence of ground and 'Großes Holz' being a former slug heap covered with greenery. Nowadays, the coal mining history of these natural hot spots is surmisable at best and they are equally popular local holiday areas for families, senior citizens and sport enthusiasts.

Be fascinated by the beautiful panorama combining industrial culture and natural highlights and follow the 'Route der Industriekultur' (Route of Industrial Culture) at 'Großes Holz' or the 'Route Industrienatur' (Route of Industrial Nature) at the 'Beversee'!



Bergkamen Municipal Museum

56 ha of an ancient Roman fortress right in Bergkamen - the largest one north of the Alps! Between the 11th and 8th century B.C. two legions and probably around 12.000 Roman soldiers were stationed here. The Bergkamen Municipal Museum displays a wide range of ancient finds, including for example weapons, medals, cutlery and games, all related to the nearby archaeological excavation. Attractions like the archaeological education trail and 'Culinaria Romana - how the Romans ate and drank' provide a lively insight into this part of the town's history. After being dressed in traditional Roman togas and being taken on a tour through the Roman exhibition, the Culinaria Romana participants will then have the opportunity to prepare several Roman delicacies and enjoy a three-course meal in a cosy atmosphere.


(Photos: Milk)

Besides the Roman exhibition, the Municipal Museum also houses numerous other exhibitions dealing with industrial, settlement and town history, former homes of farmers and miners, the style of home furnishing of the 1950s, club history and a fully furnished corner shop of the 1920s. Temporary historico-cultural special exhibitions are also organized on a regular basis.


Sohle 1, an art gallery exhibiting works of contemporary artists - most of them from German-speaking countries - is also housed in the Municipal Museum and attracts vivitors from all over the region. The museum café provides art lovers with refreshments and little delicacies.
