Would you like to foster your team’s creativity in the long term to finally stimulate innovative—rather than unoriginal—product and service ideas? Do you want to improve social skills such as communication and empathy, as well as acquire new professional skills through creative methods? Then team building in Gelsenkirchen is just the thing for you. Known for the soccer club FC Schalke 04 and its talent development program—which has produced stars like Özil, Neuer, and Draxler—Gelsenkirchen is the ideal place to foster team spirit and personal growth through a fun team-building experience. After the coking plants and coal mines closed, the landscape of this former industrial city was largely transformed into parks, which now feature amphitheaters, lakes, climbing parks, outdoor swimming pools, and mini-golf courses. Along the Industrial Heritage Tourist Route, former slag heaps have been repurposed for new recreational activities, such as dirt biking or freeriding. How about an exciting ATV tour across the hills of the old coal mine as an original team-building idea? In addition to the ZOOM Adventure World, with its countless species spread across continent-themed areas, Gelsenkirchen is also home to a rare greyhound racetrack. At the annual Social Day, departments can form teams of five to lend a hand with Malteser aid projects. This team-building event in Gelsenkirchen allows your colleagues to encounter entirely new challenges, work together to solve them successfully, and do so for a good cause.

When you’re in Gelsenkirchen on a business trip, you’ll always find some time to explore the area. In the Beckhausen neighborhood, for example, there are six different, relatively small churches, each with its own charm. The annual Beckhausen Bike Night is a great event that you shouldn’t miss if you’re in Gelsenkirchen at the right time. Right between Gelsenkirchen and Herne lies the town of Wanne, through which the Emscher River, the Hüller, and the Dorneburger Bach flow. Another district of Herne is Crange. Here you’ll find Haus Crange, a former moated castle from the fourteenth century. The Kunsthaus Crange offers, among other things, dance and theater studios, a painting and sculpture studio, and even a goldsmith’s workshop. Crange is probably best known for its annual fair, which, with four million visitors, is an incredibly large celebration for this small-town area. Originating as a horse market, the Cranger Kirmes now attracts 450,000 visitors per day—a higher density than Munich’s Oktoberfest. Overall, the Emschertal valley and the entire Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region have undergone significant changes over the past century. Once known solely as an industrial hub, it is now one of Germany’s “hidden gems,” with a focus on culture, health, and eco-tourism. Those who enjoy hearty meals are also welcome here: traditional dishes combine blood sausage or bacon, mashed potatoes, and broad beans.
