Urban Wilderness in Bochum: Outdoor exhibition focusing on hidden city nature
At the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover, industrial culture meets nature observation: The outdoor exhibition Urban Wilderness showcases photographs by Sven Meurs and directs attention to animals living in the midst of German cities. Wild boars, foxes, and kingfishers are presented not as random finds, but as powerful images of a city that is far more than just concrete and traffic.
When the city becomes a habitat
The exhibition works with a clear idea: urban spaces are already part of nature. Thus, a unique event experience emerges on the outdoor grounds of Zeche Hannover, connecting photography, environmental awareness, and city exploration. The visual language is immediate, the perspective surprising, and the audience atmosphere calm and attentive.
A place with history and character
Zeche Hannover is one of the most significant industrial sites in the Ruhr area. The historic industrial monument in Bochum-Hordel provides the appropriate setting for an exhibition about wilderness in urban spaces, featuring its Malakow tower, machinery house, and expansive outdoor area. This connection between past and present gives the event its special depth.
Photography that sharpens the gaze
Sven Meurs is known as a wildlife photographer and photographer of nature and urban themes. Verifiable sources depict him as an author and image designer who intensively engages with native wilderness, wildlife photography, and the lives of animals in cities. His work combines expertise, patient observation, and a sense for strong motifs.
Visit, arrival, and practice
The museum's address is Günnigfelder Straße 251 in 44793 Bochum. Arrival by bus and train is well described via the stop Hannoverstraße, and there are additional signs for parking, accessibility, and ground-level access to parts of the site. Admission is free, and the exhibition itself is designated within the museum context as museum admission.
Conclusion
Urban Wilderness makes visible how close nature and the city are today. Anyone who wants to see Bochum with new eyes and discover an unusual cultural and natural experience should experience this event live.
