Urban Wilderness: Bochum experiences urban nature in a new way
With Urban Wilderness, starting from May 6, 2026, an outdoor exhibition featuring photographs by Sven Meurs will be set up in the outdoor area of the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover. The images provide a fresh perspective on German cities where wild boars, foxes, kingfishers, and many other species have found their place.
Urban nature meets industrial culture
The historic site of Zeche Hannover creates the perfect backdrop for this unique event experience. Between the Malakow tower, open spaces, and museum area, an atmosphere emerges where urban wilderness and industrial history meet in an exciting way. Those interested in nature photography, sustainability, and the hidden wildlife of the city will find an exhibition experience with real discovery potential here.
A photographer with an eye for the unusual
Sven Meurs has been working as a photojournalist, lecturer, author, and expert on urban wilderness for many years. His work focuses on the relationship between humans and nature in the city, making visible how adaptable animals are in urban habitats. This perspective also shapes the exhibition in Bochum: informative, visually striking, and close to the reality of the Ruhr area.
The place makes the difference
The LWL Museum Zeche Hannover is a historical industrial monument with strong character. Barrier-free access, an elevator to the machine hall, designated parking for people with disabilities, and signs for bus and train connections make getting there easier. Additionally, there are open spaces, picnic areas, and a museum café-like offering with snacks and drinks on weekends and holidays.
For families, walkers, and photography fans
The exhibition appeals to different target groups: families discover urban animals in a new way, culture enthusiasts experience an unusual interplay of art and industrial culture, and nature fans receive inspiration for viewing their own city. The combination of outdoor format, free admission, and historic location makes visiting particularly attractive.
Conclusion: An outing that changes the perspective on Bochum
Urban Wilderness invites you to not only see urban nature but to rethink it. If you're looking for a free, visually strong, and thematically relevant exhibition experience in Bochum, you should definitely plan to attend this event and experience the unique atmosphere live on-site.
