Jahrhunderthalle Bochum

The Jahrhunderthalle in Bochum is an industrial monument and cultural highlight in one. It is an anchor point on the Route of Industrial Heritage and venue for events such as concerts, theater and shows. With the Ruhrtriennale, the Jahrhunderthalle houses the most important cultural festival in the Ruhrgebiet.

As a prime example of the structural change in the Ruhr area, the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum stands for the new understanding of culture in the Ruhr Metropolis. It is the center of the festival ground Ruhr, landmark of Bochum and dares the border crossing between tradition and modernity.

The area around the Jahrhunderthalle offers everything to discover. Everywhere these old industrial buildings, but they are beautiful to look at and suggest what was going on here earlier. Via paths and many bridges you can find your own way through the terrain. Anyway, a nice, somehow exciting place for a break on the bike ride.

The Jahrhunderthalle itself hosts regular events. By the way, there is a RevierRad station next door, where you can also rent a bike, which you can later hand over to another RevierRad station on request.

an old industrial hall that has become the venue of theaters and musical performances today, surrounded by a large park, which used to be green and then became gray and brown for industrialization, is today once again an oasis of relaxation.
