Path of Coal: An exhibition that makes Bochum's industrial history visible anew

At the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover, photography meets structural change: Path of Coal shows the journey of coal from the Dutch coast along the Rhine to the Ruhr area, putting people and their work environments at the center. The exhibition by Khalil Noé Döring combines documentary precision with a strong event atmosphere that not only tells history but makes it tangible.

Industrial culture with visual power

The photographs open a perspective on a changing everyday life: port, freighter, coking plant, blast furnace, and steelworks become stations on a route that places Bochum's industrial identity in a larger European context. This creates a unique event experience for those who appreciate exhibitions with depth and an authentic atmosphere.

A place with history that fits the theme

The LWL Museum Zeche Hannover is itself part of industrial culture. The former coal mine with a Malakow tower, machine hall, and seasonal museum operations creates the right setting for this presentation. Visitors to the site not only experience art but also a place where Bochum's mining past remains palpably present. ([zeche-hannover.lwl.org](https://zeche-hannover.lwl.org/?utm_source=openai))
