Photographs, Industrial History, and a Look Behind the Coal Traces
With Way of Coal, the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover in Bochum presents a special exhibition that makes the current path of coal to Germany visible. The photographs by Khalil Noé Döring take us right into a world of transport, work, change, and industrial culture.
An Exhibition Venue with True Ruhr Area Character
The historic Malakow Tower of Zeche Hannover gives the tour a special event atmosphere. The industrial monument already tells a story before the first glance falls on the images. Those who walk through the gallery experience not only an exhibition but an event experience between architecture, memory, and the present.
Photography Meets Documentary Depth
According to LWL, the photographer accompanies the last stages of coal transport to Europe and focuses on people, work environments, and processes that often remain hidden in everyday life. This is exactly where the strength of this exhibition lies: it combines visual impressions with substantive content and makes complex interconnections understandable without losing emotional access.
Bochum, Coal, Industrial Culture
Zeche Hannover is one of the notable places in Bochum's industrial culture. The museum is open during the season and offers further insights into the history of mining around the exhibition. The public atmosphere is likely to be particularly exciting for visitors who want to connect photography, historical places, and regional memory culture.
Things to Know for Your Visit
The special exhibition runs from March 21, 2026, to October 25, 2026. Admission is free. According to LWL, the gallery in the Malakow tower is not wheelchair accessible; however, a video on the lower level allows a virtual tour of the exhibition. The museum is located at Günnigfelder Straße 251 in Bochum, well embedded in the industrial environment of the site.
Conclusion: An Appointment for All Who Want to See Bochum's Industrial Culture Anew
Way of Coal combines photography, exhibition concept, and authentic location into a strong cultural event in Bochum. Those interested in industrial culture, documentary imagery, and unique exhibition experiences should experience this show live.
