Essen is the center and, after Dortmund, the second-biggest city in the Ruhr, Germany's largest metropolitan region. It is the fourth-largest city in North Rhine-Westphalia, after Cologne, Düsseldorf, and Dortmund, and the tenth-largest city in Germany, with a population of 582,415 people. Essen is located in the broader Rhine-Ruhr Metropolitan Region and is part of the Rhineland cultural region. Essen is known as the Ruhr's "hidden capital" due to its strategic location in the Ruhr. Two rivers run through the city: the Emscher, the Ruhr area's major river, and the Ruhr River, which is dammed near Essen to produce the reservoirs Lake Baldeney (Baldeneysee) and Lake Kettwig (Kettwiger See). Essen's centre and northern boroughs traditionally belonged to the Low German (Westphalian) language region, whereas the city's south belonged to the Low Franconian (Bergish) language area.
Essen is home to numerous regional governments as well as eight of the top 100 publicly traded German firms by revenue, including two DAX companies. Essen is frequently regarded as Germany's energy capital, with E.ON and RWE, the country's two major energy suppliers, located there. Essen is also well-known for its contribution to the arts, thanks to the prestigious Folkwang University of the Arts, the Zollverein School of Management and Design, and the Red Dot award for industrial product design. The universities of Essen and the adjacent city of Duisburg (both founded in 1972) combined in early 2003 to become the University of Duisburg-Essen, which has campuses in both towns plus a university hospital in Essen. Essen was designated as the seat of a Roman Catholic diocese in 1958. (often referred to as Ruhrbistum or diocese of the Ruhr).
