The route of industrial culture represents as Holiday route in the Ruhr area special industrial monuments and areas of the industrial landscape in the form of road routes for motor vehicles and also for that bicycle in front. In addition to the Anchor points, which form the backbone of the route, convey the Themed routes always a special topic, a local area or something special in the history of the Ruhr area.
The themed route with the number 26 "Sacred Buildings" leads - since the beginning of May 2013 - to places of faith of different denominations, all of which show something typical for the Ruhr area. This can be the joint use of a church by Catholic and Orthodox Christians or the conversion to event rooms and district centers or the continued use as an urn burial site or table church. Often places of worship were built by the immigrant guest workers, these were mosques or Calvinist prayer rooms. The history of Judaism in the Ruhr area is exemplified by old and new synagogues. The prayer house of the first miners in Muttental is represented as well as the exhibition in the German Mining Museum on Saint Barbara, the patron saint of miners. Only medieval churches were left out, as they were built before the Ruhr area. The route shows those interested in theology, historians and art historians, locals and tourists the diversity and history of the faiths in the Ruhr area.
