Essen – Ruhrarea

Kleiner Ausschnitt aus dem internationalen Wikipedia über meine Heimatstadt. Einfach nur lustig, wie sich das auf englisch anhört.

“Essen (pronounced [ˈɛsən]) is a city in the center of the Ruhr Area in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Located on the Ruhr River, its population of approximately 5,082,000 (as of December 31, 2006) makes it the 7th- or 8th-largest city in Germany. The city was recently appointed European Capital of Culture for 2010 representing the whole Ruhr Area.”
