Mülheim received its town charter in 1808, and 100 years later the population exceeded 100,000, making Mülheim officially a city. At the time of the city's 200th anniversary with approximately 170,000 residents, the city was counted among the smaller cities of Germany.
Mülheim was the first city in the Ruhr Area to become totally free of coal mines, when its last coal mine "Rosenblumendelle" was closed. The former leather and coal city had successfully made a complete transformation to a diversified economic centre. With more than 50% covered by greenery and forest, the city is regarded as an attractive place to live between Düsseldorf and the Ruhr Area. It is the home of two Max Planck Institutes and, since 2009, the technical college Ruhr West.
Geology
[edit]When looking at its geological structure, the city lies on the border region, known as the Marl border, of three regions - the Mittelgebirge of the Bergisches Land, the Lower Rhine Plain and the Westphalian Lowland. The areas lying northeast of the Ruhr, with their rich loess-containing soils, belong to the natural region known as West Hellweg. Whereas it's difficult to tell from the surface formations where the Westphalian Lowlands begin, the landscapes of the Bergisches Land and the Lower Rhine Plain are easily recognisable.
The northern foothills of the Rhenish Massif are characterised by the distinctive rock formation of the bare mountain slopes through which run coal-bearing layers which formed during the carboniferous period. Here the Ruhr cuts more than 50 meters deep into this Mittelgebirge. This natural erosion partly uncovered these mineable black coal deposits, which enabled their exploration and extraction using adits. However, the coal-rich layers became ever deeper as one progressed northward, which required setting up mines to extract the black coal. In contrast, the broad bayou (dead arm of a river) of Styrum borough is characteristic of the features of the Lower Rhine Plain.

[edit]Biografia
[edit]Appartenente ad una famiglia nobile di Genova, si dedico per molto tempo al commercio.
Nel 1840 diventò giudice del tribunale di commercio di Genova del quale venne eletto presidente per un biennio nel 1843, anno in cui divenne barone. Portò importanti riforme e abbatté la giacenza di cause portando beneficio non solo ai singoli commercianti ma anche alle casse dello Stato.
Quindi rieletto presidente, lo fu anche dal 1845 al 1846 e nel 1847 venne riconfermato per la terza volta straordinariamente con la necessaria modifica del Codice di commercio. Il 19 dicembre 1849, anno in cui fu eletto sindaco della città di Genova fino al 1851, venne nominato senatore del Regno di Sardegna.
Fu anche membro e Presidente della Camera di commercio di Genova e Presidente della Commissione amministratrice del Monte di pietà della stessa città.
