An impressive look at the paths of coal in Bochum

With the special exhibition Path of Coal, the LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover in Bochum focuses on an industrial history that still shapes the Ruhr area to this day. The photographic work by Khalil Noé Döring shows the current path of coal from the import and transshipment points to industrial processing, making visible what otherwise remains hidden. According to LWL, the exhibition runs from 21.03.2026 to 25.10.2026 and can be experienced in the historic ambiance of the industrial monument.

Industrial culture with a strong visual language

Between the Malakow tower, authentic architecture, and the rough atmosphere of a former colliery, the exhibition unfolds its special effect. The photographs tell of work, transport, logistics, and global connections – precisely, accessibly, and with a clear perspective on people and processes. This makes the visit not only informative but also a genuine event experience with depth. ([lwl.org](https://www.lwl.org/pressemitteilungen/mitteilung.php?urlID=63343&utm_source=openai))
