Route of industrial culture (Ruhr area) - Route der Industriekultur (Ruhrgebiet)

Map of the route as shown on the information steles on site

The Industrial Heritage Route is a Holiday route by the Ruhr area. It connects the most important and touristically most attractive industrial monuments in the region.

The route of industrial culture is designed as a signposted road route for motor vehicles and is around 400 kilometers long. As a rule, however, the individual stations can also be easily reached by public transport. An alternative development of the industrial monuments is around 700 kilometers long Route of industrial culture by bike represent.

The route is a circular route with a few detours based on 25 Anchor points across the Ruhr area. In addition, the anchor points are also in 26 different Themed routes represented, but here also many other stations are connected to each other according to the topic. In addition to the individual stations, the route also leads to 17 Panoramas of the industrial landscape (Viewpoints with landmarks) and counts 13 significant settlements on.

background

The Ruhr area has an over 150 year old historyof industrialization from the beginnings of coal mining, individual ironworks and small iron processing companies as well as the local utilization of hydropower, to the countless mines sunk further and further north and deeper, to smelters for pig iron and steel production and factories for further processing to the necessary infrastructures there are only settlements for the workers, villas for the directors, the expansion of waterways and railways or the supply of food and drinking water or the disposal of sewage.

Since the beginning of the coal crisis around 1960, the Ruhr area has been in the Structural change, almost all mines were closed, coking plants and the steel industry concentrated in a few large companies. The was an important instrument for redesigning former colliery and factory sites Building exhibition Emscher Park. In it not only green corridors were defined in the Ruhr area, which today to the astonished shouts of the visitors "But do you have a lot of green here!" lead, here settlements for the residents have also been renovated and permanently preserved, industrial buildings have been converted for subsequent uses and overall awareness has been raised that this legacy of industrial history can be dealt with better than tearing it down. The IBA was also the hour of birth of the Route of Industrial Culture.

The Arch of the enumerated stations Spans from the first beginnings of industrialization (first collieries, ironworks and hammers, factories, transport routes, settlements) through the topics dedicated to the three rivers (Ruhr, Emscher, Lippe) to residential areas (workers' settlements and director's villas) and spatially oriented sections (to Duisburg, Dortmund, Essen or Oberhausen). Also important are the lists of nature (parks and gardens, industrial nature, panoramas and landmarks) and of course the myth of the Ruhr area is pursued (places of remembrance and symbolic power).

There are well-attended attractions such as the Zeche Zollverein, the Oberhausen Gasometer or the Hoheward Halde, but also very unknown and correspondingly less frequented places. This can also mean that in the first case and at an important event there is no foot in the area or in the second case this station can only be viewed from the outside or from a distance. Some places are only accessible with guided tours or on special occasions (for example the extra shift or the day of the open monument).

preparation

The 25 anchor points alone are already too many to visit in a few days, the total number of stations almost kills the visitor. In addition, the stations of Alps in the Wesel district (western Ruhr area) to Bönen in the district of Unna (eastern Ruhr area) and from Marl (north end, border to Münsterland) to Breckerfeld in the Ennepe-Ruhr district (southern end, on the edge of the Sauerlandes) distributed.

So it is important to prepare:

  • Where should it go?
  • Which topic should it be about?

There are several ways to get information:

  • Visit of the Ruhr.Visitorcenter / Visitor Center Ruhr, 45309 Essen, Gelsenkirchener Straße 181, Zollverein Schacht XII [A14], in the former coal washing plant (foyer of the Ruhrmuseum) (Tram 107 to "Zollverein", parking lot A1, GPS: Fritz-Schupp-Allee).

  • Visit of the Website under http://www.route-industriekultur.de/, on which all anchor points, routes and stations as well as current events are described in detail.
  • Purchase the offered brochures, each for a route at a price of € 3.50 (older issues) or € 5 (if already reissued) in the RVR shop, Bookstores or in the visitor center, see also the list in the literature section below.
  • Download of Discovery pass (Reissued in 2013), which describes the anchor points in detail in German and English and also offers the possibility to collect a stamp from everyone.

It is realistic to wander from up to 10 stations close together on one of the city routes (for example at the inner harbor in Duisburg) or to cycle from several stations in a close vicinity (for example the ore railway route) in one day.

getting there

Route signs for the route

The road route has signs with directions and indications to the stations reached. The route signs are set up at large distances, often ambiguous and missing at some junctions. Also, there are often no other attractions on the route itself. It is therefore advisable to save the selected destinations in the navigation device or to find them with the help of a map. In this case, it is not so much "the journey is the goal" but rather "arriving is half the battle".
