Industrial culture in NRWVenues for art, culture and the creative industries

NRW's industrial heritage is huge: no other federal state has such a wealth and variety of industrial monuments. Themed routes lead right across the state to collieries, gasometers, coking plants, blast furnaces, production sites and hoists. The disused industrial sites not only keep industrial history alive, but also bear witness to structural change and today provide a setting for art, culture and the creative industries. Follow in the footsteps of industry and experience the creative novelties of industrial culture in your NRW!
