We hope that the selection of information and contact details of key contact personnel and contact points on our portal will help you to make a start in the Ruhr region. Please note that the services of the towns and cities, such as the granting of residence permits or the registration of place of residence, can only be provided on site and not via our portal.

The Welcome Guides will assist you with personal tips and experience regarding settling in to the Ruhr region.

We look forward to hearing from you if you have any suggestions, requests or updates for the welcome.ruhr portal!
