The industrial perspective on coal comes alive in Bochum
The Way of Coal showcases a special exhibition at the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover in Bochum that makes the current path of coal to Germany visible. The exhibition, featuring photographs by Khalil Noé Döring, combines industrial culture, documentary photography, and the authentic site of the historical Malakow tower into an impressive event experience. The exhibition opened on March 20, 2026, and runs until October 25, 2026; admission is free. ([lwl.org](https://www.lwl.org/pressemitteilungen/nr_mitteilung.php?urlID=63343&utm_source=openai))
A place where industrial culture becomes palpable
The Zeche Hannover is part of the LWL Museums for Industrial Culture and makes strong statements about historical interest, cultural dissemination, and target audience engagement as a monument in the western part of Bochum. The historical site lends a special atmosphere to the exhibition as architecture and imagery engage in direct dialogue.

Photography, transformation, and the hidden stations of coal
The exhibition follows the last stages of coal transport to Europe and directs attention to the people along this supply chain. Döring's large-format works depict industrial spaces, work situations, and transitions that hold significant historical and contemporary relevance in the Ruhr area. This creates a deep event experience between reportage, art, and regional history. ([lwl.org](https://www.lwl.org/pressemitteilungen/nr_mitteilung.php?urlID=63343&utm_source=openai))
