Music Venues in Bochum
Bochum has transformed from mining city to cultural center. The Jahrhunderthalle provides spectacular industrial heritage settings, while Zeche and clubs serve the vibrant local scene.
Bochum's Jahrhunderthalle seats 6,000 in the transformed Ruhr city of 365,000. The former gas power station hosts RuhrTriennale festival while Starlight Express theatre runs the world's longest-running musical. The post-industrial transformation shapes distinctive venue character alongside university culture.
