An impressive look at the Path of Coal at the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover
The special exhibition Path of Coal takes you into one of the defining stories of the Ruhr area in Bochum: the journey of hard coal from the ports to the industrial consumers. Photographs by Khalil Noé Döring are displayed in the historic Malakow tower of Zeche Hannover. The exhibition makes visible how transport, labor, and change are interconnected to this day.

The photo series narrates the raw material coal along the European supply chain and focuses on people, workplaces, and the logistics behind it.
