Bochum

Bochum is a major city at the geographic center of the Ruhr region, historically defined by coal mining and steel production that shaped the area for over a century. Since the closure of its last pit in 2000, the city has reinvented itself as a hub for universities and culture, including the long-running Starlight Express musical venue. The specific POI marked here as an artwork lacks further detail; visitors should verify the exact location on the ground.
