Bochum is located in the centre of the Ruhr area. The Ruhr area is a densely populated part of Germany with around 5.3 million people. It’s identity was strongly derived from the formerly prevaliing coal-mining and steal industry. Today it is sometimes called ‘Ruhr city’ because often it is not clear where one city ends and the next starts.

Bochum’s last colliery closed down some 30 years ago, and steel production is no longer as important as it was. New industries took their place, and companies like Opel and Nokia set up manufacturing facilities in the city.

Ventura, officially known as San Buenaventura, means “city of good fortune” in Spanish. The name is taken from the Spanish mission built in 1782 by Father Junipero Serra as the ninth and last of the 21 missions the founder of California missions actually oversaw. Destroyed by an earthquake and rebuilt in 1815, a triangle at the entrance symbolizes the holy trinity and the ornamentation on the wall around the side door opposite a fountain is actually a map of the area for wayward travelers.
