Best Answer

The Ruhr is a river in Germany and the valley the river flows through is a region famous in the past for heavy industry e.g. iron, steel, coal mining. So in short it is both a river valley and a region in Germany. It also used to be the centre of the German arms industry. Heavy vehicles are still produced there. Major cities in the area include Essen, Dortmund, Bochum, Gelsenkirchen, Muehlheim and many smaller towns. The Ruhr flows into the Rhine at Ruhrort in Duisburg, which is one of Germany's biggest inland ports.
