Oberhausen is a city located in the Ruhr region of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Originally a small village, it experienced rapid growth during the 19th century due to coal mining and steel production, becoming an important industrial center. Following the decline of these traditional industries, Oberhausen has successfully transformed itself into a cultural and commercial hub.

The city is particularly known for its innovative approach to urban renewal, converting former industrial sites into cultural spaces. A prime example is the Gasometer Oberhausen, a former gas storage tank that has been transformed into an exhibition space and landmark of industrial heritage. The city is also home to CentrO, one of the largest shopping and leisure centers in Europe.

Oberhausen has established itself as a significant cultural destination, hosting various cultural institutions and events, including the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, one of the oldest and most respected short film festivals in the world.
