History
In 1928, the adjoining cities of Buer, Gelsenkirchen, and Horst merged to form Gelsenkirchen-Buer, which was renamed Gelsenkirchen in 1930.[1]
The Scholven/Buer synthetic oil plant was a bombing target of the Oil Campaign of World War II[2] The Buer town hall however survived in nearly original form.[3]
