Langendreer

[2][3] The district is located between the cities Dortmund, the largest city of Westphalia, to the east and Witten to the south, and four other districts of Bochum to the north and west — Langendreer-Alter Bahnhof, Bochum-Laer, Bochum-Querenburg [de], and Bochum-Werne.

[4][5][1] Langendreer used to be one of the main centers of the East Prussian minority in Western Germany.

In the early 20th century coal mining[1][6] and steel manufacturing[7][8] were the primary employers in Langendreer.

Langendreer-Alter Bahnhof is a statistical district[2][3] and monument area[9] of the city of Bochum.

It used to be, and to some extent, still is a business district that accommodated the needs of the mines and railway, while the rest of Langendreer is more of a "village" with residential areas.
