About Essen
Essen is the cultural capital of the Ruhr region and the city most associated with the post-industrial reinvention that has transformed the former coal and steel heartland of Germany into one of Europe's most interesting and visited regions. The Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex — inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001 — is the most important and most celebrated industrial heritage monument in Europe: a vast, beautifully preserved 20th-century colliery complex designed by the Bauhaus architects Fritz Schupp and Martin Kremmer, now housing the Ruhr Museum, the Design Zentrum NRW, an art skating rink and numerous cultural venues in its extraordinary machine halls and coking plant.
Essen's Villa Hügel — the enormous private mansion of the Krupp industrial dynasty, set in extensive parkland above the Baldeneysee lake — gives an extraordinary insight into the scale of wealth and ambition of the Ruhr's great industrial families. The Folkwang Museum, completely rebuilt by David Chipperfield Architects in 2010, has one of the most important collections of 19th and 20th-century art, photography and design in Germany — voted 'Museum of the Year' by art professionals and critics for three consecutive years. Essen was European Capital of Culture in 2010 (together with the entire Ruhr2010 region), a designation that accelerated the cultural transformation of the former industrial city.
Important Transfer Information
Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage Site: The Zollverein Coal Mine complex is the centrepiece of the Ruhr's post-industrial reinvention — a magnificently preserved 1930s colliery designed with Bauhaus aesthetic rigour, now housing the Ruhr Museum (one of the finest regional history museums in Germany), the Design Zentrum NRW, and a programme of exhibitions and events throughout the year. The giant cooling towers, winding towers and machine halls are extraordinary architectural experiences.
Folkwang Museum: The Folkwang Museum in Essen houses one of the most distinguished collections of 19th and 20th-century European art in Germany, with particular strength in German Impressionism, the Blaue Reiter movement, post-war German art and international photography. The 2010 Chipperfield building is itself an architectural highlight.
Baldeneysee Recreation: The Baldeneysee — a large reservoir lake on the southern edge of Essen formed from the Ruhr River — is one of the most popular recreational areas in the Rhine-Ruhr region, with sailing, rowing, cycling paths and the Villa Hügel on its northern bank. A remarkable contrast to the industrial north of the city.
