Situated on the grounds of the Zollverein World Heritage Site in Essen is the Red Dot Design Museum, a parade example of industrial heritage and the transformation the Ruhr Area is going through. A highlight for your city break!

 
The Red Dot Design Museum, with more than 1,500 exhibits, is believed to be the largest exhibition of contemporary design in the world. A particularly impressive characteristic is the interplay between the design exhibit and the historical building at the Zollverein World Heritage Site in Essen.

Over an exhibition space of over 4,000 square metres, only current products are now displayed, commodities the visitors may recognise many of, and of which they may even have one or the other at home. What makes this exhibit different from other everyday articles, however, is a very special characteristic: good design.

For friends of modern design, the Red Dot Design Museum is one of the highlights of any trip to the Ruhr Area. A visit to the exhibition is of course perfect during a Zollverein Day, when also visiting the Zollverein World Heritage Site as an industrial monument, the new Ruhr Museum or an art gallery.

Essen - world cultural heritage city and city of the arts. Can you possibly call a mining pit beautiful? You can indeed: the Zollverein pit XII is so beautiful that in December 2001 it was elevated to the rank of a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. The pit went into operation in 1932. At the time it was seen as an ideal form of industrial architecture and an outstanding example of the Bauhaus style. MORE
