Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RON-SAC
RUHRORT , a town of Germany, in the Prussian Rhine province, situated at the junction of the Ruhr and the Rhine, in the midst of a productive coal
district
 , 15 rn. N. of Dusseldorf and 12 E. of Crefeld by rail. Ruhrort has the largest river harbour in Europe, with quays extending nearly 5 M. along the river, and it is the principal shipping port for the coal of the Westphalian coalfield, which is despatched in the
fleet
  of steam-tugs and
barges
  belonging to the port. The coal is sent principally to
South
  Germany and the
Netherlands
 . Grain and timber are also exported and iron ore is imported. In 1905 the port was entered and cleared by over 27,000 vessels of 7,418,065 tons. The
industries
  of the town include large iron and steel works, ship-building yards and tanneries. Ruhrort has three Evangelical and three Roman Catholic churches, and several schools and public institutions.
Rurhort is first mentioned in 1379, and obtained civic rights in 1551. Having been in the possession of the
counts
  of La Marck, it passed into that of Brandenburg in 1614. In 'nos it was united with
Duisburg
  and Meiderich to form a single municipality, the
joint
  population being 41,416.
