Tour through the Underworlds: Experience Bochum from the Inside

Experience Bochum's Hidden Underworld

This city tour will open a special chapter of Bochum's industrial culture on May 16, 2026. In the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum, we descend into historical supply shafts that were once part of a far-reaching system of the Bochum Association. Today, history comes to life: authentic, impressive, and close to the industrial past of the city.

Industrial Culture Beneath the Surface

The tour through the underworld shows how closely production, infrastructure, and daily life were interconnected in Bochum during the industrial age. Through hatches and viewing windows, guests experience the original state before decommissioning and its later repurposing as an event location. This makes the tour a compact discovery experience for everyone who wants to get to know local history and cultural heritage up close.

A Glimpse into the Working World of the Bochum Association

The former supply shafts beneath the gas power plant tell stories of technical precision, industrial logic, and on-site workflows. It is precisely this mix of history, architecture, and hidden spaces that gives the city tour its unique appeal. Those who wish to discover Bochum beyond the well-known paths will gain rare insight into a piece of Ruhr Area history here.

Compact, Intense, and Well-Organized

The tour lasts about 60 minutes, making it ideal for an inspiring trip with a clear structure. The meeting point is the visitor center in the pump house behind the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum. The tour combines knowledge, atmosphere, and orientation at a location that impressively preserves the industrial past of the region.
