As a large, walk-in sculpture, the Hansa coking plant offers fascinating insights into the history of heavy industry in the last century.
Today, the Hansa coking plant, which was closed down in 1992, can be visited on the “Nature and Technology” adventure trail. The path leads high up to the "coal tower with a panoramic view" and to the heart of the coking plant, the furnace batteries, in which hard coal was once "baked" into coke at over 1000 degrees Celsius. The machine hall with a unique ensemble of five gas compressors is considered the jewel of the facility.

The special appeal of the industrial monument lies in the combination of architecture, technology and nature. Since the shutdown, nature has reclaimed its terrain. In addition to well-known plants such as birch trees and buddleia, exotic flora and fauna have also settled here.

For visitors, the Industrial Monument Preservation and Historical Culture Foundation regularly offers open tours on the “Nature and Technology Adventure Trail” on weekends and public holidays. Group tours can be booked at any time. In addition, Hansa-based coke crumb Karlchen Koks regularly invites children on a journey of discovery. The RVR offers guided tours of industrial nature. The Hansa coking plant also has a bicycle station. The Revier bikes can be rented for a fee.

Both a visit to the museum itself and exploring the paths around the museum grounds are highly recommended. From Deusenberg with the MTB area, which is right next door, you have a fascinating view of the area.
