The map
Mülheim an der Ruhr lies between Duisburg and Essen, and unlike many of its neighbours it is defined by its river more than by industry. The Ruhr crosses the city from south to north-west, dividing it into two halves joined by a handful of bridges. Near the centre the river splits around an island with a lock, a detail that looks almost drawn by hand.
The old town and main shopping streets sit on the right bank, while Schloss Broich, one of the oldest castle sites in the region, stands on the left. Much of the southern city is green: woods, riding paths and villas on the slopes above the river. Mülheim is also known as the home of Aldi Süd and of several Max Planck institutes.
A Mülheim map poster shows a city in balance. The curve of the Ruhr gives the composition its backbone, dense street patterns fill the north and centre, and the looser roads of the southern hills thin out into woodland. It reads differently from the tightly packed maps of the rest of the Ruhr area, calmer and more open.
Close to the centre the Ruhr divides around a narrow island with a lock and a side channel, a compact cluster of water shapes that anchors the middle of the map.
The old town on the right bank faces Broich on the left, connected by several bridges. On paper the river becomes a clear dividing line through the heart of the city.
South of the centre the street pattern loosens into curving roads, woodland and residential hillsides, giving the lower part of the poster a lighter, more open texture.

Why Mülheim
Mülheim suits people who know the Ruhr beyond its industrial image: a riverside walk, a childhood in Saarn or Styrum, years spent at one of the research institutes. The river gives the map an immediate identity, even for guests who have never been there.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line with a name or a date that matters, and choose one of five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Blueprint suits the river and lock, Paper the older streets.
