One of the poorest cities in Germany, Gelsenkirchen is a former coal mining town that has never recovered from the decline of its main industry. The Ruhr city is known for its football team and a massive stadium that occasionally attracts international entertainers such as Swift. And there is more to come in Germany’s Swiftie town.
