Famous for its mining industry, Bochum is now recognized as a cultural center and a venue for grand celebrations. Being the center of the Ruhr district, the city offers a rich cultural program. In Bochum, you can find many theaters where the vital atmosphere of the city is supported not by architectural beauty, but by character and aspiration to the future.
The pride of the past centuries of Bochum, of course, is considered to be the coal industry. Today it is mostly represented by the mining museum of the once flourishing industrial city. But due to the crisis in the coal industry in the 60s, the Ruhr district began to transform into an educational and cultural center. The proof of this is the existence of the Ruhr University and the Schauspielhaus Drama Theater.
Due to the frequent cultural events, for example, the Ruhr Triennial Art Festival, the Ruhr Piano Concert, in 2010 Bochum turned into the cultural capital of Europe. There has been a special sympathy for art here for a long time, where this is confirmed by the presence of interesting museums, alternative student environment, and galleries of contemporary art.
There is also the Zeiss Planetarium, which opened in 1964. It is associated with the most modern planetariums in the world. The planetarium has such conditions that the visitor seems to be under an open sky full of stars. After reconstruction, the planetarium reopened its doors in May 2010, which makes it the world's first planetarium with a full-dome projection.
The mining village of Dahlhauser-Heide, which was built between 1906 and 1915, has been preserved in Bochum. In this beautiful village of the Ruhr district, a model of a garden city was designed, the developer and architect of which was Robert Schmol. The village is a structure of typical houses, on the ground floor of which there is a kitchen and a living room, and on the second floor there are two bedrooms. Each house is designed for two families and there is a vegetable garden adjacent to each of them.
The renovated Yarhunderthalle building also attracts attention, which, with a combination of modern and traditional architecture, reveals the classic symbols of the Ruhr district. Presentations, banquets, performances, concerts and experimental performances are held in three halls of the building.
Westphalian cuisine - and Bochum cuisine - is known for its flavor and is less known for its own unique dishes (like Berlin with Currywurst or Bavaria with Weiwurst). Here you will find a wide selection of international dishes. However, don't forget to try one traditional Westphalian dish - Pfefferpotthast, beef stew with pepper and onion.
