European Route of Industrial Heritage

This Europe-wide network brings former industrial sites together by region and subject. In Germany, the Ruhr and Saxony-Anhalt offer different starting points for seeing how industry shaped towns and landscapes.

Why go

Use the Ruhr's regional route to concentrate on one industrial landscape, or follow a theme such as mining, iron and steel, energy or transport across several sites. The network's anchor points and regional routes help turn a broad history into a manageable set of visits.

Useful to know

  • Select a regional route or industrial theme first; the European network is too broad for a single journey.
  • Check each site's current visitor access before traveling, since a heritage network includes different kinds of places.
