Experience Gelsenkirchen-Ückendorf from its delicious side
This culinary city tour combines local history, neighborhood culture, and authentic tasting experiences into a special discovery adventure in Ückendorf. On August 15, 2026, the tour will start from the Gelsenkirchen Justice Center, taking you through Bochumer Straße and its side streets – right into a neighborhood that tells a new story with history, creativity, and gastronomy.
On the way between neighborhood, culture, and cuisine
The tour opens your eyes to a neighborhood in transition: former industrial and workers' stories, striking architecture, and vibrant present converge here into a multifaceted city tour. At selected stops, you can enjoy five small tastings from different culinary worlds – from traditional and Mediterranean to Asian, along with coffee, sweets, wine, or beer.
Enjoyment moments outdoors
The tastings take place while standing and outdoors, making the tour especially immediate. Those who stay attentive along the way will experience not only culinary diversity but also the urban flair of Bochumer Straße, the interplay of old and new neighborhood ideas, and the unique atmosphere of a vibrant district.
Historical traces and surprising places
The stops include the Platz der Heinze-Frauen, the NRW Center for Talent Promotion, the Heilig-Kreuz Church without interior visits, the Dickebank housing estate, and an artist's studio. This creates a varied route that connects local history with contemporary urban development and makes the character of Ückendorf tangible.
Well organized, clearly guided, pleasantly compact
