By the expression RTC (Roter-Teppich-Club) a generic term for certain clubs of several operator groups, which are very similar in their conception, has become established in certain environments. Currently meant by name are the clubs --> FKK Villa Romantica, --> FKK Villa Venus, --> FKK Villa Arabella, --> FKK Villa Verena, --> FKK Freude 39, --> FKK Grimbergsauna, --> FKK Luderland, FKK Ludertreff and --> Dietzenbach,
which stand out from other sauna clubs due to their simple wellness offer without catering, an extremely favourable price structure with standardised tariffs and extras - if offered - without surcharge, absolute nudism (except Club Dietzenbach) and a minimalist internet presence. The name "Roter-Teppich-Club" (= Red Carpet Club) is an allusion to the clichéd past of some traditional Ruhr Area clubs, which with their puffed plush, the
predominant, in Germany so-called "Gelsenkirchen Baroque" furnishings and partly kitschy-lottery decor up to the said red carpet have firmly buried themselves in the public's memory. Apart from the Grimberg sauna, most RTC clubs offer only a very modest outdoor area, if any. The FKK Dietzenbach - also called FKK 40 or "Aldi",- which is located in Dietzenbach near Frankfurt, occupies a special geographical position far away from the other clubs in the Rhine/Ruhr Area.

The club FKK Villa Romantica is located in Recklinghausen-Hillerheide.
Recklinghausen is the largest city in the northern Ruhr area, it borders in the north already on the Münsterland and is located in the east of the Emscherland nature area. Consequently, the river Emscher, which rises near Holzwickede, flows through the city, as does the federal waterway Rhein-Herne-Kanal.
The town was first mentioned in 1017 as Ricoldinchuson and was granted town charter in 1236. In 1150, the city was the centre of what was known in ancient times as Vest (= circuit) Recklinghausen, which belonged to the Electorate of Cologne until 1802. After a short affiliation to the Duchy of Arenberg and from 1811 to the Grand Duchy of Berg, the city came to Prussia in 1815 and was incorporated into the province of Westphalia.
Recklinghausen has been subject to numerous municipal reforms in the past centuries. Since January 1, 1975, the city has consisted of 18 districts: inner city, northern district, Speckkhorn/Bockholt, eastern district, western district, Hochlar, Paulusviertel, Stuckenbusch, Hillerheide, Hillen, Berghausen, Grullbad, Süd, König Ludwig, Röllinghausen, Hochlarmark, Suderwich and Essel. The city is easily accessible via the A2 and A43 motorways and its main railway station and has access to the Marl-Loemühle airfield on the city boundary with Marl. To the south of the city lies the Recklinghausen city harbour on the Rhine-Herne Canal, which is also visited in summer as a leisure facility and houses a beach bar.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, the city was dominated by coal mining. Today, it sees itself as a service and administrative city and, with its pedestrian zone and the "Palais Vest" shopping centre on the Löhrhof, is regarded as the shopping city of the region. Unlike most other cities in the Ruhr area, Recklinghausen's inner city was only slightly damaged during the war and can therefore boast a closed ensemble of interesting houses and buildings with historical architecture in the old town and its surroundings. The inner city is rounded off by modern experimental buildings such as the Jenke Museum and the Rondell, which stand out as individual buildings in contrast to the historically grown buildings.
The Ruhrfestspielhaus on the Green Hill, a natural hill in the city's garden, hosts the Ruhrfestspiele, the oldest and at the same time one of the largest and most renowned theatre festivals in Europe. The city is also home to the Neue Philharmonie Westfalen, the largest of the three state orchestras in North Rhine-Westphalia. Other leisure activities include the zoo, the Westphalian public observatory with planetarium in the city garden and the extensive new Hoheward recreation area - the landscape park. The approx. 160-hectare area on the city border to Herten attracted nationwide attention above all through the horizontal observatory erected on the slagheap roof at a height of 110 metres with the striking two touching steel arches.
Among the well-known sons and daughters of Recklinghausen are Katherine Oppenheimer, Horst Jüssen, Dietmar Ossenberg, Steffen Brand, Werner Hansch, Frank Busemann, Renate Künast, Hape Kerkeling, Nicolas Wöhrl, Ralf Moeller, Ludger Pistor, Birte Glang and Walter Giller.
