From mining to event metropolis: rediscover Gelsenkirchen

The city of 1,000 fires as a stage for your next team event

Gelsenkirchen - once the heart of the coal industry in the Ruhr region, today a lively venue for team events with real personality. The mining history of the city of 260,000 inhabitants is still omnipresent. But over the years, centers for culture and leisure activities have sprung up around the old winding towers of days gone by. The town in the heart of the "Potts" has reinvented itself since the days of coal and miners and has outgrown its industrial roots without losing its incomparable charm. Today, it shines with green parks, innovative urban projects and diverse event venues.

Whether you take your team to the spectacular VELTINS-Arena - home of the cult club FC Schalke 04 - or to the Nordsternpark, which was created on a former coal mine site: Gelsenkirchen openly flaunts its tradition, but transports it into the modern present. Experience intensive team-building activities and incomparable company celebrations in the historic Lüttinghof moated castle or go on a sporty company outing to the Rheinelbe spoil tip, where climbing the stairway to heaven not only provides breathtaking views, but also spurs your employees on to new great achievements. Heiner's Parkhotel and the PLAZA Hotel Gelsenkirchen are particularly suitable for meetings and conferences with accompanying event formats.

From urban adventures in the Stadtgarten to cultural voyages of discovery in Horst Castle - Gelsenkirchen combines the past and the future to create a unique experience for your next corporate event.

Diverse event formats for every team in Gelsenkirchen

Between collieries and visions of the future: Gelsenkirchen as an event location

In Gelsenkirchen, great tradition and history are within reach. And hardly anything in the city is more important than the local soccer tradition. The VELTINS-Arena, also known as the Arena auf Schalke, is not only the venue for FC Schalke 04's home matches, but was also designed from the outset as a venue for major events and special occasions. In addition to concerts, winter sports events and major TV events, the arena also provides the perfect backdrop for your next conference or company celebration. Whether with 15 or 1,500 participants, in the Glückauf-Club or in the Veltins-Eck - enthusiasm and teamwork are guaranteed in this atmospheric setting. We provide the right supporting program for your team event. A fun soccer quiz show or an exciting table football cup are ideal formats for an extraordinary location like this.

The Nordsternpark with its impressive amphitheater and historic industrial monuments is more than suitable for our action-packed outdoor experiences. For example, embark on an exciting scavenger hunt with a modern twist with our GPS rally. This will demand far more from your team than just a good sense of direction and good physical condition. You will also encounter challenging puzzles and team tasks on your adventure. The Rheinelbe spoil tip with its impressive stairway to heaven is also a fantastic location for this exciting format.

    The team event with Teamio was a complete success! The organization was professional and smooth from start to finish. The team managed to create a perfect mix of fun, team spirit and motivation. All participants were enthusiastic, got to know each other better and returned with a lot of energy. The creative design of the program and the friendly support provided by the Teamio team were particularly impressive. We can recommend Teamio without reservation and are already looking forward to the next event!

    Torben S.

    I booked a soapbox event and we were all really impressed. You far exceeded all expectations. Super creative, great atmosphere, very professional, friendly and lots of fun. From the organization to the event itself, the team was very attentive and super competent. And above all that they managed to do this despite having to set up and organize an event on the road in an unfamiliar location. Thank you thank you thank you

    We would book Teamio again for our next team event in a heartbeat! :)

    Viktor M.

    We had a wonderful team event for the 7th time this year thanks to Teamio! Everything was OPTIMAL, from the initial requests, to all the arrangements, to the execution. I can't think of anything that should have been different or could have been better! Many thanks to all the hands involved! After all these years of experience together, we would even book Teamio blindly, without knowing what to expect!

    It was a well thought-out, organized event from start to finish! Even sunscreen was provided at every station! The moderation and cheering were dosed just right so that it was fun, but you didn't have the feeling that it was overdone! You have to be able to do that with around 120 participants. The feedback from the employees was consistently positive! We are happy to book again and can really recommend Teamio! Thank you for the successful event!
