We did not see much of the town unfortunately, only the Europaplatz where the VW show was being held. We did have a little walk round but only the local streets to the show.


Originally there was roman crossroads here, then a military post which was apparently used by traders. The first documentation of the area dates from the year 834 of Castrop as a villa Castorpe.

The town of Castrop was actually only founded in 1902 and in 1926 the municipality of Castrop-Rauxel was founded by joining Castrop with another 10 parishes. The city is situated in the Ruhr valley not far from Dortmund.
