ExtraShift – the Night of Industrial Culture

Every last Saturday in June, the Ruhr region showcases its industrial heritage in a unique atmosphere. Former industrial sites, coal mines, and extraordinary locations are transformed into impressive venues for art, music, and performances, offering a fresh perspective on the region. Many sites open up areas rarely seen in everyday life, providing insights that spark curiosity about the history and future of the Ruhr region.

The ExtraSchicht is considered one of the region's special event highlights, inviting visitors to rediscover the Ruhr area on a summer night. Each venue sets its own tone and demonstrates how architecture, art, and urban space interact.

The ExtraSchicht is an experience that showcases the diversity, modernity, and vibrancy of the Ruhr region. It invites locals to rediscover their surroundings while simultaneously offering visitors the opportunity to be surprised and inspired by the region's industrial heritage.

The next ExtraSchicht will take place on June 27, 2026.
