Podcast Tour Oberhausen The Great Illusion of the New Center

About this activity

Dive into the heart of the most dramatic and controversial transformation of the Ruhr area. On this visually impressive and grandiose journey, you will discover how a rough, dirty city full of blast furnaces and coal dust has been reinvented into a glittering landscape of consumption and leisure. We will explore the monumental gasometer, question the commercialization of working-class history in a mining experience spa, navigate the overwhelming labyrinth of Germany's largest shopping center, and stand among the buried ghosts of an industrial empire. This is a story about the survival, extinction, and true cost of structural change.
