A Love Letter to the Ruhr Area ❤️
The Ruhr area is more than coal and currywurst – it’s a way of life. Pottlove was founded to make this spirit visible. We showcase the Ruhr region at its best, both for those who have never seen it before and for locals who want to experience their home from a new perspective.
From hidden gems to exciting events and insider tips – we bring the Ruhr area to life. Tourists will find the perfect route through the Pott, while locals discover new favorite spots. We stand for passion, authenticity, and an undeniable love for this region.
Because once you’ve been here, you’ll know: The Pott has heart – and Pottlove makes it visible. 💛
Team
Founder - The Silent Perfectionist with a Coffee Cup ☕️
Arleta studied Medical Physics in Krakow before embarking on a scientific expedition to the Ruhr area in 2017 – first Hattingen, then Essen. After working as an IT manager in an energy corporation, she discovered her true passion: silence, research, and content creation.
With her keen eye for detail, she dissects every topic until even Wikipedia gets jealous. Her ideal work environment? A dark room, just her laptop and her thoughts, while the world outside keeps spinning. She loves cats, great food, gaming, and deep conversations over the perfect date night.
Founder - Extroverted nerd with 1000+ open tabs 🖥️
While others were still figuring out how to turn on the internet, Eugen was already building websites at 15. Born in Hamm and a proud Essen resident for over a decade, he now works as a software engineer at the energy exchange – when he’s not busy crafting SEO strategies or solving tech problems with a casual “I’ll fix it in a sec.”
As the official “Jack of all trades,” he juggles strategy, code, and creative ideas while petting cats with one hand and passionately commenting on BVB matches with the other. Events, gaming, cooking – as long as there’s action, he’s in!
Meeko
Head of Exploration - Cave Architect & Fearless Adventurer 🐾
Meeko is officially Head of Exploration at Pottlove. No box, blanket, or bag goes unnoticed – everything must be explored. She’s brave, curious, and has just the right amount of sass – a true Pott cat with a no-nonsense attitude.
But even the fiercest adventurer knows when it’s time to cuddle. After a long day of exploring, she turns into a little diva, demanding (rightfully so) royal-level snuggles. Her specialty? Building caves out of blankets, cardboard boxes, or anything that lands in her paws.
Without Meeko, Pottlove would be only half as exciting – she brings the thrill of adventure to everyday life!
Meowsie
Head of Security - Lazy Security Officer with a Snuggle Guarantee 🐾
Meowsie is the complete opposite of Meeko – cautious, always on high alert, yet still mischievous in his own way. As Pottlove’s Chief Security Officer, she thoroughly checks her surroundings before fully relaxing.
But when it’s time to unwind, she’s right there, ready for endless cuddles. With her fluffy presence, she brings a calming energy to the hustle and bustle of the agency.
Her greatest talent? Using just one look to bring out the best in people – which, of course, means getting them to gently scratch her head. 🥰
