Short-term accommodation
If you are coming to Gelsenkirchen and do not yet have a place to stay or have to bridge a few nights between arrival and taking over an apartment, there are various possibilities to find accommodation for a few days or a few weeks. These range from youth hostels, private rooms to hostels and furnished apartments.
In Facebook groups like "Expats Gelsenkirchen", long and short-term accommodations are regularly offered as well: https://www./groups/532311100124419
