Path of Coal in Bochum: An exhibition that opens the view behind the energy everyday life

At the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover, industrial history meets the present: Path of Coal – Photographs by Khalil Noé Döring guides visitors on June 18, 2026 in Bochum through those stations that often remain hidden. The exhibition shows the current path of coal to Germany and focuses on people, work processes, and transport routes.

An industrial monument as a fitting backdrop

The historic Malakow tower of the Zeche Hannover gives a special depth to the exhibition experience. Those entering the museum experience not only photography but also the genuine atmosphere of the Ruhr area: steel, brick, history, and the quiet presence of a place where work and change have been palpable for generations.

Photographs with documentary power

Khalil Noé Döring traces the footsteps of European coal logistics from the Dutch coast to the Ruhr area in his work. His images showcase the often-overlooked infrastructure behind import, transport, and processing. This is precisely the strength of this special exhibition: It transforms an abstract raw material into a tangible theme with societal relevance.

What visitors can expect on site

The presentation is aimed at everyone interested in industrial culture, photography, Ruhr area history, and current energy issues. The museum provides a suitable framework with clear visitor orientation, good accessibility, and an environment that invites lingering. Admission is free, the exhibition runs within normal museum operations and fits seamlessly into a visit to the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover.

Practical information for your visit

The museum is located at Günnigfelder Straße 251 in Bochum. Arriving by bus and train is possible via the Hannoverstraße stop, and parking facilities are available at the museum. However, the gallery in the Malakow tower is not accessible; there is a virtual tour of the exhibition on the lower level.

Conclusion: Path of Coal connects photography, industrial culture, and contemporary relevance into a quiet yet impressive exhibition experience. Those wishing to discover Bochum from its historical side should experience this exhibition live.
