Activities in North Rhine Westphalia

Industrial Heritage Trail
Most of the smokestacks and mines are quiet today, but the Ruhrgebiet has embraced its heritage by cleverly converting many of its 'cathedrals of industry' into museums, concert halls, cinemas, restaurants, lookouts, playgrounds and other venues. About 25 of them are linked along the 400km Industrial Heritage Trail that takes in such cities as Dortmund, Essen, Duisburg and Bochum. Most sites are also served by public transport.
The route's central visitors' centre is at the Zollverein colliery complex in Essen.

Haus Der Geschichte Der Bundesrepublik Deutschland
The Haus der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland presents a highly engaging and intelligent romp through recent German history, starting when the final bullet was fired in WWII. Walk through the fuselage of a Berlin Airlift ' Rosinenbomber ' , watch classic clips in a 1950s movie theatre, examine Erich Honecker's arrest warrant, stand in front of a piece of the Berlin Wall or see John F Kennedy's famous ' Ich bin ein Berliner ' speech.
