Not only school exchange students come from Bochum. A couple of actors in the movie "Das Boot" are from the Bochum drama school actually, not only Grönemeyer but also "Frenssen","IIWO"(red hair guy) and Dieselheizer Ario at least.
So yes, Bochum is the place to be.
Still a good actor in his music videos:
