Overview

  • Dive into the heart of the most dramatic and controversial transformation of the Ruhr area. On this visually impressive and grandiose journey, you will discover how a rough, dirty city full of blast furnaces and coal dust has been reinvented into a glittering landscape of consumption and leisure. We will explore the monumental gasometer, question the commercialization of working-class history in a mining experience spa, navigate the overwhelming labyrinth of Germany's largest shopping centre, and stand among the buried ghosts of an industrial empire. This is a storey about the survival, extinction, and true cost of structural change.
