Rediscovering Bochum's Urban Nature: Urban Wilderness at Zeche Hannover

With the outdoor exhibition Urban Wilderness, the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover opens an unusual perspective on life between asphalt, parks, and industrial scenery starting from May 6, 2026. The photographs by Sven Meurs show how alive nature is in German cities – and how close wild animals actually come to us in everyday life.

When Foxes, Wild Boars, and Kingfishers Conquer the City

The exhibition relies on powerful images and a clear idea: urban nature is not a marginal topic, but part of the urban lifestyle. Visitors experience an exhibition that works with humor, proximity, and precision. Wild boars in Berlin gardens, foxes in Cologne city centers, or kingfishers in Düsseldorf city parks clearly illustrate how diverse urban wilderness is.

Photography with Vision and a Sense of the Moment

Sven Meurs combines nature photography, environmental awareness, and journalistic observation in his work. His images draw attention to biodiversity, habitats, and the value of green retreats in the middle of the city. Especially in the outdoor area of Zeche Hannover, the exhibition unfolds its special effect: industrial history meets nature observation, monument atmosphere meets open sky scenes.

A Destination for Families, Nature Enthusiasts, and Culture Explorers

Urban Wilderness appeals to very different target groups. Families find an exciting walk with aha moments, photography fans discover strong motifs, and culture enthusiasts experience an exhibition that cleverly combines knowledge and experience. The grounds of Zeche Hannover provide the perfect setting with plenty of space for exploration and a special audience atmosphere.

Practical Impressions for the Visit

The exhibition takes place outdoors on the grounds of the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover and is therefore an ideal destination for a day trip. Arrival is possible by car, bus, or bicycle.
