Path of Coal at the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover: An exhibition that revitalizes Bochum's industrial culture

With the special exhibition Path of Coal, the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover combines a historical industrial backdrop with a contemporary view on global supply chains. The photographs by Khalil Noé Döring take you to places where coal is still moved, stored, and processed today - creating an impressive dialogue with the Malakow Tower in Bochum.

Photographs between Weight and Reality

The exhibition showcases large-format images that make the current path of coal to Europe visible. Rather than pure distance, closeness is created: to ports, freighters, industrial facilities, and the people whose work remains connected to this raw material. This is precisely where the excitement of the event experience comes from - from the mix of history, present, and a vibrant audience atmosphere in the name of industrial culture.

A Place that Adds Depth to the Theme

The Zeche Hannover is one of the notable places in the history of the Ruhr area. The museum opens its doors from March 21 to October 25, 2026; thus, the exhibition runs for many weeks and invites visitors to come at their own pace. Admission is free, which additionally facilitates access and makes the format particularly inclusive.

Visit, Directions, and Atmosphere on Site

Visitors can reach the museum at Günnigfelder Straße 251 in Bochum. On site, they will find an authentic industrial backdrop with outdoor areas, a museum shop, and options for a break. For public transport, the Hannoverstraße stop is particularly convenient. This creates a relaxed setting for those who want to connect culture, photography, and the history of the Ruhr area.

Why the Path is Worth It

Path of Coal is more than an exhibition: It tells stories of labor, transport, materiality, and change. Those interested in photography, industrial culture, and the history of the Ruhr area will find an impressive mix of expertise, atmosphere, and visual storytelling. Best experienced live and discover coal from a different perspective.
