In­dus­tri­al her­it­age of NRW

The in­dus­tri­al her­it­age of North Rhine-West­phalia is huge: no oth­er fed­er­al state has such an abund­ance and vari­ety of in­dus­tri­al monu­ments. Themed routes lead across the coun­try to mines, gas­o­met­ers, cok­ing plants, blast fur­naces, pro­duc­tion fa­cil­it­ies and lifts.

NRW’s industrial heritage is immense: no other German state has such an abundance and variety of industrial monuments. Numerous themed routes take in mines, gasometers, coking plants, blast furnaces, production plants and lifting machinery. Not only do these decommissioned sites keep the state’s industrial heritage alive, they also bear witness to structural change and act as backdrops for art, culture and the creative sector. Take the opportunity to relive the industrial past and experience modern creativity at old industrial sites in your NRW!
