Architecture of the Skyline Gelsenkirchen
Gelsenkirchen silhouette: Where coal became culture
The Gelsenkirchen skyline traces the transformation of this Ruhr city, where mining heritage, contemporary architecture and major sporting landmarks form part of a shared identity. The composition takes inspiration from a 360° panorama from the Hamburg-Mannheimer building, around Machensplatz, starting towards the west-northwest and gradually turning through northwest, north and northeast towards southeast/south-southeast. The design combines different perspectives to bring together the city's most representative landmarks.
The journey begins with the Nordsternturm, crowned by the Herkules sculpture, followed by the Renaissance Schloss Horst and the Hans-Sachs-Haus. Next comes the Veltins-Arena, a symbol of the city's footballing tradition, alongside the Rathaus Buer, recognisable by its tower.
The silhouette continues with the Musiktheater im Revier, a notable example of post-war cultural architecture, and the Evangelische Altstadtkirche. Further along rises the mining structure of Zeche Consolidation, Schacht 9, followed by the church of St. Augustinus.
Towards the end, the Halde Rheinelbe and its iconic Himmelstreppe recall the transformation of former industrial sites into cultural landscapes. The Fernmeldeturm closes the horizon, completing a composition that celebrates Gelsenkirchen's mining heritage, passion for sport and capacity for reinvention.

FAQs
How can they be attached to the wall?
In the product we include an envelope with padded double-sided adhesives to fix on the wall. They are transparent dots that must be peeled off and placed on the back of the piece distributing them evenly and in the thickest parts of the skyline, then remove the protection on the other side and fix on the wall.
If you need more information, you can consult our Instructions section, where you will find detailed and useful information on how to use our product.
Can it be hung on stippled or plastered walls?
There would be no problem to fix the skylines on a stippled wall as the double-sided adhesive tape we include is padded and very resistant. In addition, the skylines are not too heavy. However, you have to consider the roughness and type of stippling on your wall. We do not recommend it for brick or plastered walls. The ideal is to place it on a smooth wall, because it adheres better.
Is it possible to make this model in custom size or larger?
At the moment it is not possible, as we must take into account the logistical limitations of packages larger than 100 cm.
Is it possible to order a city that is not in the catalog?
Every week we include new cities in the catalog. You can vote your city or town in the application section to be published soon. It works by a voting system.
Exactly what material is it made of and what is the finish like?
Each piece is 6 mm thick. The black version is made from MDF with a matte finish; the natural and brown versions combine an MDF core with a natural birch finish. The silhouette is cut with a high-precision laser for impeccable detail, and the edges are polished by hand. It is a handcrafted piece designed and made in Spain.
I am looking for an original gift, does the product come well presented?
Absolutely. It's our most popular use case and we've designed it to be the perfect gift. The silhouette is an original and very personal detail to remember a trip, celebrate a move or for any city lover. It comes in designer packaging, perfectly protected and ready to surprise.
What exactly will I receive in my order?
