RUHR

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 823 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RON-SAC
RUHR , a river of Germany, an important right-bank tributary of the
lower
  Rhine. It rises on the north side of the Winter-berg in the
Sauerland
 , at a height of about 2000 ft. above the sea. It first takes a northerly and north-westerly course, and in a deep and well-wooded valley winds past the romanticallysituated town of Arnsberg. Shortly after reaching Neheim it bends to the
south
 -west, courses through the
mining
 
district
  around
Hagen
 , and receives from the left the waters of the Lenne. Hence in a tortuous course it works its way past
Witten
 , Steele, Kettwig and Mulheim, and, after a course of 142 In., discharges itself into the Rhine at Ruhrort. From this
place
  the Ruhr canal connects it with
Duisburg
 . The river is navigable from
Witten
  downwards (43 m.), by the aid of eleven locks; but navigation is often greatly impeded through dearth of water.
