Waltrop is a town located in the northern Ruhr region of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. With its industrial heritage deeply rooted in coal mining and shipping, the town played a significant role in the region's economic development during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Today, Waltrop is particularly known for its UNESCO World Heritage site, the Henrichenburg Ship Lift, which was built in 1899 and stands as a remarkable example of industrial engineering. This historic boat lift was crucial for the development of inland navigation on the Dortmund-Ems Canal. The town preserves its industrial cultural heritage while maintaining a pleasant residential character, surrounded by green spaces that provide a transition between the urban Ruhr area and the more rural Münsterland region.
