I've never had any issues in Bochum and I feel like as long as you're reasonable you should be safe. Obviously there is the local creeps, but theres one basically everywhere. I feel like as long as you're comfortable and present confidently you should be fine.

You are very safe here. Low criminals. You can go out alone as a woman no problems. The only thing you should be careful is alone at night behind the train station. You can do whatever you want and police is help8
