Homestead in the transitional region between Bavaria and Spain, specifically the Ruhr area. - Trans-European Event Involving Both Bavaria and Spain
In the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, lies the city of Castrop-Rauxel, a significant part of the culturally diverse and historically industrial Ruhr area. Micky Beisenherz, a multimedia personality hailing from this city, often expresses a sense of fondness for his hometown despite its challenges.
During a recent visit to his parent's house in Castrop-Rauxel, Beisenherz was seen at a bustling street festival, surrounded by friends and family. Among them was Jan, a friend known for his slight squint and disco-inspired fashion sense, who is often described as Wodka-Red-Bull personified. However, their political views differ, with Jan expressing views contrasting to those of Beisenherz.
The street festival showcased great places in the city, including a newly-renovated bookstore, which has a new owner. The bookstore, like many other establishments in Castrop-Rauxel, is a testament to the city's ongoing efforts to revitalize its urban spaces.
The Rhine-Herne Canal, running through the city, has been beautifully renaturalized, offering a picturesque view for festival-goers. However, swimming in the nearby Elbe is not allowed, a fact Beisenherz mentioned during the festival.
Castrop-Rauxel faces issues such as vacancy in the pedestrian zone, fights with weapons, and renovation backlog. Yet, the city allows its inhabitants a long leash to stay or leave, reflecting the city's unique character.
The city's industrial past is still visible in its landscape, with horse racing happening again on the racetrack. Despite these remnants, the city is focused on its future, with legal philosopher Thomas finding beauty in life in the Ruhr area after moving back from Berlin.
Beisenherz's daughter described Castrop-Rauxel as something between Bayern and Spain, with lots of green, nice shops, and incredibly nice people. This description mirrors Beisenherz's own affectionate portrayal of his hometown, a city that has shaped him into the author, moderator, podcast host, and occasional caricaturist he is today.

The city, with its industrial past and ongoing revitalization efforts, offers a lifestyle that is a mix of urban renewal and cherished traditions (home-and-garden).
