Duisburg is a major city in western Germany, in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, with around half a million inhabitants, one of the largest cities in the Ruhr area and part of the larger Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region, one of the biggest population centers in Europe. It sits at the confluence of the Ruhr and the Rhine, a position that has historically made it an important center of trade, industry, and transportation, and it is administratively an independent city.
