Im Winkel, together with Gußstahlstraße, has been the red-light district of Bochum, Germany, since the early part of the 20th Century. The local names for the street are "Eierberg", "Gurke" , "Riemenschleifer" or "Riemenwalzwerk" .
The Hamme district in Bochum had at least eight brothels by the railway tracks on Kurzen Straße in 1904. In 1912, the Märkischer Sprecher newspaper reported on the city's plans to allow "regulated brothel operations only in the immediate vicinity of the city centre" on what was then Maarbrücker Straße, the street name being changed to Im Winkel in 1929.
