ExtraSchicht auf dem UNESCO-Welterbe Zollverein

GLOW! – Think about the future!

When colorful lights shine all around the Doppelbock, the Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrates its 25th anniversary in all its glory. A feast for all the senses: mapping projections, spectacular performances, contemporary circus, rousing music, and interactive activities transform the World Heritage Site into a sparkling landscape of light, sound, and movement. New impressions and surprising perspectives await around every corner.

Where coal was once mined, the future is now taking root. Memory and vision come together in a night that makes the World Heritage Site shine anew.
