I lived in Bochum, Germany for about a year. Worked nearby in Dortmund. I would not describe it as touristy. Just go to Germany and have a great time! Try and learn the language and get involved with local activities. Good luck.
It is one of the centers of the *alternativ* scene - you should be a very, very, very left minded man to like it there. There are some riots over the year.
It is an amazing place - but absolutely not what you would think about *real germany*

Stayed in a hotel right across the street of Jolly Roger and the Millerntor Stadion when St. Pauli played against the Cuban national team. Well, that was a bit crazy. But the city grew on me during that stay

So my husband and I are interested in moving to Germany. We're making a trip in May '15.
We would like to visit a city/town that is not for the tourist, but will give us a real look at what Germany is really like, people, culture, food. The kind of town that you might say about it "if you enjoy it here, you'll love living in Germany".
Any suggestings?
I am not so sure you would like the most German places in Germany.
But Germany has various cultures, like the US, there is not one German culture.
I would say the center is typical German, i.e. northern Hesse, Thuringia, southern Lower Saxony. Göttingen is a rather good place to live...
