"2025 Shopping Excursions: Visits to Bottrop and Kirchhellen"
In the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia, the city of Bottrop is preparing for a unique event aimed at celebrating and raising awareness of local retail, gastronomy, and service providers. The "Heimat shoppen" action, organised by the IHK Nord Westfalen in Bottrop and the City of Bottrop, is set to take place over two exciting days in September 2025.
For those eager to participate, tickets can be purchased from August 11 to 22, 2025. The event will feature guided tours through the city centers of Bottrop and Kirchhellen, providing an opportunity to get to know the faces behind the storefronts and appreciate the diversity of the local economy.
Tour 1, starting at the Bottrop info point (Hansastraße 15) on September 12 at 15:45, takes participants on an oldtimer bus ride to Kirchhellen. This tour includes visits to local businesses and a lively evening program, celebrating the diversity of the neighborhood. The return from Kirchhellen to Bottrop for Tour 1 is scheduled for 20:15.
On the following day, September 13, at 9:45, a second guided tour called Tour 2 starts at the Johann-Breuker-Platz in Kirchhellen. Tour 2 travels to the city center of Bottrop, with stops at the weekly market, selected specialty stores, and owner-operated businesses. Historical anecdotes provided by city archivist Heike Biskup enrich the tour, and the musical finale at the Marktviertel kiosk at 16:00 serves as a perfect conclusion.
The number of participants for the guided tours is limited, so it's recommended to secure tickets early. Tickets can be purchased at the Bottrop info point (Hansastraße 15) and Life&Style Kirchhellen (Hauptstraße 41).
