Gelsenkirchen renames itself to welcome Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour
Aleshanee Westhoff shows a “Swiftkirchen” town sign in honor of musician Taylor Swift in Gelsenkirchen, Germany
The German city of Gelsenkirchen is gearing up for a Taylor Swift takeover as the pop sensation prepares to rock the stage with three Eras Tour concerts later this month. In a fitting tribute to the American superstar, the city has temporarily rebranded itself as “Swiftkirchen” and is all set to welcome thousands of eager fans.
The idea to rename the city came from Aleshanee Westhoff, a dedicated Swiftie, who proposed the name to the mayor and even started a petition. The mayor, Karin Welge, expressed gratitude to the teenager for her “great idea” in a letter accepting the proposal. A yellow city sign bearing the new name, “Swift’s Church,” was unveiled in the city center by Aleshanee, complete with a pink portrait of the pop icon.

According to city spokesman Markus Schwardtmann, more signs will be put up at prominent locations in Gelsenkirchen in the lead-up to the concerts. The enthusiastic reception for Taylor Swift is a welcome boost for the city, which has struggled economically since the decline of its main industry, coal mining.
The excitement doesn’t end with the city’s name change. Taylor is set to receive her own stone on the Gelsenkirchen Walk of Fame, joining local luminaries like soccer coach Rudi Assauer and writer Ilse Kibgis. Furthermore, open-air parties with karaoke performances are planned during her concerts, and there’s even a “Taylor Swift streetcar” already in operation.
The city is keeping additional fan attractions under wraps for now, teasing that “there will be more to come.” This level of fanfare and enthusiasm is a testament to the global appeal of Taylor Swift and her ability to bring communities together through music.
Thousands of Swifties expected to descend on “Swiftkirchen”
In the midst of all the excitement, it’s clear that Taylor Swift‘s impact extends far beyond her music. Her influence has sparked a wave of creativity and celebration in Gelsenkirchen, breathing new life into a city that is eager to embrace the energy and vibrancy that comes with being a part of the Swiftie phenomenon.
As fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming concerts, it’s evident that “Swiftkirchen” is more than just a temporary name change; it’s a symbol of the unifying power of music and the excitement of coming together to celebrate a shared passion. The stage is set for an unforgettable experience as Taylor Swift and her devoted fans come together in this unique and momentous event.
