Submarket of the logistics region Ruhr

Gelsenkirchen / Herne / Marl

In the northern Ruhr between Gelsenkirchen, Herne and Marl, many former colliery and industrial sites have become logistics and business locations. Canal ports, a dense motorway network and the Marl chemical park shape the submarket.

Location and access

The A2, A42, A43 and A52 serve the submarket in every direction. The Rhine-Herne Canal links the ports with Duisburg and the Rhine, and rail completes the network.

Space profile

Modern logistics buildings have been developed on former colliery sites, alongside port and industrial land and existing buildings of various generations. In Marl, the chemical park drives demand for hazardous goods and industrial logistics.

What occupiers should consider

New space almost only emerges on brownfield land, which takes time for remediation and planning. For hazardous goods storage, clarify permits and separation distances early. Labour availability in the northern Ruhr is comparatively good.
