Bergkamen (German pronunciation:[bɛʁkˈkaːmən]ⓘ;Westphalian:Biärgkoamen) is a town in thedistrict of Unna, inNorth Rhine-Westphalia,Germany. It is situated south of the riverLippe, approx. 15 km (9 mi) north-east ofDortmund and 15 km (9 mi) south-west ofHamm.

Bergkamen, a fairly new town in the east part of theRuhr Area and south of theMünsterland, was founded in 1966 by the merging of at first five smaller communities. The town's history, however, reaches back to ancient Roman times - this can be experienced by visiting the Bergkamen Municipal Museum, which has a large Roman department, and the nearby archeological site, the “Roemerlager“.
