Here the landscape itself is a work of art: large-format reminders of the former St. Antony and Gutehoffnungshütte (“GHH” for short), such as the gasometer or the Olga site. An island that didn't exist before. And in between there are countless crossing paths for people, trains, coal, water, electricity or gas - from somewhere to somewhere else. The perfect backdrop for EMSCHERKUNST, which can be discovered everywhere here.

Here you can find information about EMSCHERKUNST and the future EMSCHERKUNST path: emscherkunstweg.de
