An Exhibition Venue with Real Mining History

The Zeche Hannover itself is an impressive piece of industrial culture: The former coal mine in Bochum still conveys the transformation of labor, technology, and everyday life in the region. Walking through the site, visitors experience not just an exhibition but an entire event experience with historical atmosphere, Malakow Tower, machine hall, and outdoor area.

Photographs that Make the Coal Path Visible

The exhibition follows the traces of European hard coal logistics and accompanies people whose lives are connected to extraction, transport, and processing. According to LWL, the works provide a glimpse behind the processes that remain hidden from many in everyday life. This creates a special atmosphere for visitors: calm, thoughtful, and simultaneously intense. ([lwl.org](https://www.lwl.org/pressemitteilungen/nr_mitteilung.php?urlID=58752&utm_source=openai))
