The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.

- The Ruhr is located in the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region, the second-biggest metropolitan region by GDP in the European Union.
- Gelsenkirchen is the fifth-largest city of Westphalia after Dortmund, Bochum, Bielefeld and Münster, and it is one of the southernmost cities in the Low German dialect area.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gelsenkirchen article was read about 170,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 67: each hit it takes is cut by 27 %.
