Translation Agency Duisburg

Duisburg is a traditional port and industrial city in the heart of the Ruhr region, which today presents itself as a modern center for logistics, the steel industry and international trade. Due to its location on Europe’s largest inland port and numerous international economic relations, English plays an important role as a global language of communication and trade.

Duisburg’s linguistic diversity is deeply rooted in the history of labor migration. Turkish and Kurdish have been shaping the cityscape since the 1960s and are firmly anchored in many areas of social life. Russian is spoken in numerous families with a post-Soviet background. Arabic has gained in importance due to recent immigration from Middle Eastern countries and is increasingly shaping everyday life in many parts of the city.

Polish also has a long tradition in Duisburg: it has been part of regional history since the early 20th century and is once again strongly represented today due to EU labor migration. Ukrainian has gained significantly in presence in recent years as a result of the war in Ukraine and enriches the cultural diversity of the city.
