Kettwiger Straße (Kettweigane Strasse)
Frames perpendicular to the Limbecker Strasse. Street has a length of 500 meters, and everything is simply "sleeping" by these shops and benches.

Steeler Straße (Straße Straße)
The trading series here begin directly from the railway tracks and end at the intersection of AM Stadtgarten Street (although the bulk of shops is located, nevertheless, on the site between the intersection with the Von-Der-Tann-Straße and before the intersection with Herwarthstraße. On the rest of the stores, it is already much Less, but still!). In general, it turns almost 3 kilometers of stores!

A small street in the west of the city. Most shops are located on a plot of 500 meters, ranging from Duisburger Street to Rile Park. True, it certainly is not a place to buy clothes and shoes.

Shopping centers
Rathaus Galerie
This is a huge multi-storey shopping complex in the city center. Three highways and two pedestrian streets of the city are running through it (not directly through the trading room, of course).

All stores are located under the roof. The complex has a huge number of food institutions, cafes, restaurants, bistro and bakery.
