Bochum, situated in the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia’s Ruhr region, is a city shaped by centuries of history and industrial transformation. First documented in the Middle Ages, it grew rapidly during the 19th century as coal mining and steel production turned it into an important industrial centre. Today, Bochum is especially famous for the Bergbaumuseum, one of the world’s leading museums devoted to mining, as well as Ruhr University, the Zeiss Planetarium, and the long-running musical Starlight Express. Former industrial sites, green parks, theatres, and cultural venues reflect the city’s successful transition from a centre of heavy industry into a lively destination for education, culture, and entertainment.
