German city needs some brickies sent (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

essen

'german city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'some brickies sent' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ESSEN' can be found hidden inside 'brickies sent'.

'needs' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for essen that I've seen before include "German industrial centre" , "Industrial city of northwest Germany" , "Industrial centre of the Ruhr" , "Main industrial city of the Ruhr" , "city in the Ruhr valley" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
