Manifesta 16 Ruhr at St. Ludgerus Church: Art, Space, and Spiritual Resonance in Bochum
A special place opens up in St. Ludgerus Church in Bochum-Langendreer for a religious-cultural experience that connects art, architecture, and quiet perception. Manifesta 16 Ruhr captures the atmosphere of a former church space and invites visitors to experience the space anew: as a place of memory, community, and open encounter.
A Space with History and Aura
St. Ludgerus Church is a striking triangular building from 1966 designed by Hans Joachim Lohmeyer. According to the organizers, it is no longer used for religious purposes, but remains impressively present as an architectural testament of the post-war period. For visitors, this creates an extraordinary faith experience amidst sacred space, art installation, and urban cultural history.

In Bochum, the rediscovery of space is at the center. The event addresses themes such as solidarity, social change, and communal experience, creating a quiet yet inspiring spiritual atmosphere.
