A bold tribute to the Steel City Reborn in the Heart of the Ruhr Valley where Bochum, one of the central cities of the Ruhr metropolitan region, the largest urban agglomeration in Germany and historically the industrial heartland of Europe, built its wealth and identity on coal mining and steel production from the 19th century through the post-war economic miracle, where the closure of the last Bochum coal mine in 2000 and the shutdown of the Nokia mobile phone factory and the Opel automobile plant in subsequent decades forced one of the most challenging structural economic transformations in German post-industrial history, and where Bochum's remarkable reinvention through the expansion of its university, its vibrant theatre scene anchored by the Schauspielhaus Bochum, one of Germany's most respected repertory theatres, and the Starlight Express musical which has run continuously since 1988, and the development of the Jahrhunderthalle cultural venue in a repurposed industrial hall, demonstrate the extraordinary resilience and creative capacity of Ruhr cities adapting to a post-industrial future.
