Path of Coal: Bochum's Exhibition Experience at the LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover

With the special exhibition Path of Coal, the LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover in Bochum opens a chapter that impressively brings together industrial history, photography, and the present. On 21.06.2026, visitors can expect an atmospheric tour through the Malakow tower, which makes the often hidden stations of coal imports visible.

Photography that makes structural change tangible

The exhibition features photographs by Khalil Noé Döring, who has accompanied people and working environments along today's path of coal. His images tell stories not abstractly, but close to the processes, logistics, transport, and processing. This is precisely where the strength of this exhibition experience lies: it combines documentary depth with a clear, emotional visual language.

Industrial culture with a special event atmosphere

The museum itself enhances the impact of the exhibition. The historical Zeche Hannover is one of the most distinctive places of Bochum's industrial culture, and the Malakow tower places the photographs in an authentic context. This creates an audience atmosphere that goes far beyond the classic museum visit. Those interested in mining, regional history, structural change, and cultural mediation will find a strong thematic focus here.

A visit with practical benefits

According to LWL, the special exhibition is accessible free of charge. The museum is located at Günnigfelder Straße 251 in Bochum and is easily reachable by bus, bicycle, and car. On site, additional offerings such as the children’s pit Zeche Knirps and historical guided tours complement the visit program. This makes the exhibition visit a versatile outing for adults, families, and culture enthusiasts.

Why the date is worth it

Path of Coal not only shows images but also creates an understanding of a defining economic and cultural history of the Ruhr region. Anyone wishing to experience Bochum from its industrial and vibrant side should mark this date and explore the exhibition live.
