For example, Stadtbezirk was a district of the town of Wattenscheid, a town of its own until 1974. Now it is contained within Bochum in the Ruhr area in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The population used to speak Westphalian, but now standard German is the norm.

Stadtbezirk contains: Höntrop, Eppendorf, Günnigfeld, and Leithe

Günnigfeld is the site of the regional association of the National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD), and is the site of the former national headquarters of its youth organisation.
