Festspielplatz RUHR
The largest stages and oldest theatres
„Du bist keine Weltstadt …“ that's what German rock singer Herbert Grönemeyer sings in his hymn about his hometown- Bochum. No cosmopolitan city? Maybe he is not quite right. After all, there is a lot of cosmos around: For instance, Ruhrtriennale, the international arts festival in the Ruhr, Bochum Total, one of the largest rock concert spectacles of the country, Bermudadreieck, the meeting place with the largest number of bars, pubs and restaurants per square metre in Germany. The whole world is a stage. Welcome to our Festspielplatz RUHR. Welcome to Bochum!
