Worker hurt back in part of industrial Germany (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ruhr

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'part of industrial germany' is the definition.
'ruhr' can be an answer for 'part' (I have seen 'Part of Germany' mean 'ruhr' so perhaps 'part' could also mean 'ruhr'). I am not certain of the 'of industrial germany' bit.

'worker hurt back in' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'rhur' is hidden within 'worker hurt'.
'rhur' in reverse letter order is 'RUHR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ruhr that I've seen before include "Major industrial region of north-west Germany" , "Rhine tributary, coal district" , "River and industrial region of northwest Germany" , "Traditional region of German heavy industry" , "German industrial zone, river" .)
