Path of Coal at the LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover: Industrial history becomes tangible
With Path of Coal, the LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover in Bochum presents an impressive photo exhibition by Khalil Noé Döring. The documentary journey leads from the last stages of coal transport to Europe to the Ruhr region and makes visible what often remains hidden: the work environment, logistics, and the transformation of an entire industry.
Photography meets industrial culture
The exhibition is anchored in the historical Malakow tower of the museum and connects contemporary photography with authentic industrial culture. This contrast creates an atmosphere: old extraction technology, solid brick environment, and images that focus on today's coal path. This results in an event experience that does not need to be loud to resonate.
A topic with depth and relevance
Khalil Noé Döring accompanied the path of coal from Rotterdam along the Rhine to Duisburg at the end of 2022. His photographs show people, work environments, and stages of a raw material chain that continues to hold significance despite the coal phase-out. Thus, the exhibition offers not only powerful motifs but also academically exciting insights into transformation, energy supply, and industrial value creation.
The right place for this topic
The LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover is itself part of this history. As a former coal mine with a Malakow tower, machine hall, and mining ambiance, it creates the perfect stage for an exhibition about coal, work, and transformation. Visitors experience a unique audience atmosphere between museum, memory culture, and modern imagery.
Practical information for the visit
The exhibition starts on May 30, 2026, at 10:00 AM at the LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover in Bochum. According to event information, admission is free. The museum is designed to be accessible and offers, among other things, an elevator to the Malakow tower, wheelchair-accessible restrooms, and designated parking for people with disabilities right in front of the entrance.
Those who appreciate industrial culture, photography, and social topics will find here an impressive exhibition visit with depth. Path of Coal combines visual strength with regional significance and invites you to experience Bochum's mining history from a new perspective.
