Portal of Industrial Heritage

The Ruhr Metropolis at Zollverein

Discover the industrial panorama of the Ruhr Area and North Rhine-Westphalia

Multimedia-based presentations and innovative information terminals show the anchor points of the Industrial Culture Route with their former and current use. A combination of images, texts, and sounds impressively imparts the monuments of the industrial age as they were in the past, as they are today, and will be in the future.

A footbridge links the Portal of Industrial Heritage with the authentically preserved part of Zollverein Shaft XII: A path along huge machines and conveyor belts leads along the Denkmalpfad Zollverein (Zollverein Monument Path) up to the viewing platform on the rooftop of the Coal Washery, which afford a spectacular panoramic view across the region.
