Send Flowers to Essen, Germany

Essen has reinvented itself more thoroughly than almost any place in Germany. The Zollverein colliery, once the largest in the Ruhr, is now a World Heritage Site full of museums and design studios, and the city that made steel for the Krupp family has become a base for energy companies, corporate headquarters and a major university hospital. The south is surprisingly green: half-timbered Kettwig and Werden sit on the river Ruhr, sailing boats cross Lake Baldeney, and the Grugapark is a favourite for weekend walks.

People who send flowers to Essen usually have family in residential quarters like Rüttenscheid, Bredeney, Holsterhausen, Frohnhausen or Borbeck, or colleagues in the office towers near the main station. A local florist delivers the next day when you order before midnight local time, Monday to Saturday, with no Sunday rounds. For patients, add the clinic and ward name. People in the Ruhr appreciate gestures without fuss, and a generous mixed bouquet says more than formality.
