It is a wonderful place that has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Although we have a vaccination passport, we could not enter the museum because we did not have a test, but the outdoor and garden tells everything. This is what it means to protect your values. I advise. If you are going during the pandemic period, you cannot see it without a daily test and vaccination passport and mask.

Once a huge coal mine now a beautiful industrial monument in the middle of a park with museums, restaurants, playgrounds, walking and biking lanes. No entry costs except for the museums. You can easily spend the whole day.

The Zeche Zollverstein terrain has a lot to show for including a swimming pool, restaurants, shops and two museums, each requiring a ticket purchase. One is dedicated to design, while the other offers a broad spectrum of items, ranging from paintings and sculptures to rocks and artifacts displayed among the industrial spaces and machinery. The general history museum also features beautifully lit staircases, though elevators are available throughout for convenience. To enjoy a nice panoramic view of the grounds, visitors must ascend the stairs to the rooftop. There are a lot of free parking spaces, but it can get quite busy near the entrance, so arriving early is advisable. Given the extensive size of the grounds, biking is also a great option. The main downside is the poor signage throughout. It's often unclear where things are located, the pricing, and which parts belong to the museum versus separate exhibitions. For a World Heritage site, one might expect better clarity.

Wonderful experience and great museum layout. In addition, a couple of hand made shops compliment the museum area. You could easily spend many hours in the museum. The staff was friendly and helpful.

It is a very big area which is nicely planned in terms of design, style, service to show history. You can simply touch and feel history and how the weather and the time was earlier. You can also have a guide who can explain you about the history and if you have luck to have someone with a good story telling skills then you can really enjoy the whole visit. There is also restaurant and cafe inside alongside with toilet free of charge. The complex and buildings are distributed a wide area so you may face and see different views

Wonderful place to visit. Unfortunately, they don't have English guides on weekdays, but only on weekends. But we were able to walk around freely through the entire campus. The old coal mine, factory, and machinery looked majestic. A very beautiful place indeed. If you are around Essen, I would recommend this place to visit. And a beautiful location for your photoshoot as well.

An interesting Place to visit which grants you a look into the past. There is a lot to see, and tours to be taken. Whether you are young or old, want to walk a lot or not, there is something for everyone. A lot to look at, a lot to explore. You can walk around the premises and take a look at the different sites or take the bus. There is a variety of restaurants and cafes all over the area if you get hungry or thirsty in the meantime. There is plenty of parking so that you should easily find a spot whenever you come. Alternatively the site is easily to reach by public transport. Overall if you are interested in the industrial times you should definitely give this place a visit when you are around.

What an amazing place of industrial heritage. One can only try to imagine this site bustling with activity, 8000 people on site and the noise and smell and dust and dirt. All this started by Franz Haniel to mine the black gold. We benefited from a well informed tour guide who helped to bring this to life, highly recommended since this gives you access to buildings equipped with sound and video installations.

Informative and well designed museum about the Ruhr area. The museum includes a great viewpoint of the surrounding area and a socio-historic overview of the area. Only reason why it isn't 5 stars is because it felt a bit propagandistic as the environmental impact of the mining industry was barely mentioned. Regardless it is still worth a visit.

It is a wonderful place that has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Although we have a vaccination passport, we could not enter the museum because we did not have a test, but the outdoor and garden tells everything. This is what it means to protect your values. I advise. If you are going during the pandemic period, you cannot see it without a daily test and vaccination passport and mask.

Very nice museum, the workers are polite and they have app which has language options to explain everything to you. 3 different time zone museums and extra football museum. From my taste, you should directly go downstairs 12m start with the history (past) museum, i find that s more interesting. In present section lot of photos and not useful information just items. It has wifi and toilet everywhere. For child under 5 age, student whose under 25 its FREE. So enjoy

The tickets fares are rather confusing. We went on a day where the Red dot Museum was closed. So we only visited the Rhur Museum. I recommend the fare that includes the permanent, the special, and the temporary exhibition. As you have to walk and travel up and down the many floors inside the museum on both sides. There is a rooftop for taking pictures of the monument. But only stairs. Each floor they check if you have the correct ticket so I recommend you take the all-included one as you walk a lot up and down the stairs. Permanent exhibition is about history of the industrial complex and collections. The temporary exhibition is currently about football.

I absolutely loved walking around here, an amazing place, the scale of the factory is mind blowing. Chances are if you’re near here you’re heading for the Ruhr museum, if so definitely take the time to visit this site it’s right opposite the museum you won’t be disappointed. Was very quiet when I visited in November but I’m certain it gets busier when the weather is not so cold

Vale la pena contratar una visita guiada. Tienen descuentos para familias y estudiantes. La visita guiada es en inglés o alemán. La visita en inglés dura una hora. Interesante!! (Translated by Google) It is worth hiring a guided tour. They have discounts for families and students. The guided tour is in English or German. The visit in English lasts one hour. Interesting!!

I like here. Student have discount. U could spent all day here. The restaurant also supply tasty and cheap food.

I would recommend getting a guide. Also visit the Red Dot museum and you may skip the Ruhr museum.

Good place to visit. Could spend hours inside the museum and outside places. The plus point was when I visited the place, there was music and food fest organized by Essen Stadt. Beautiful place with massive architecture of metal. I would recommend to visit it once. Follow for more interesting suggestions and insights.

A great place to visit. We had a guide who told us about its history in a very interesting way. It's worth listening to and seeing. The very long escalators were amazing.

The museum is just a small part of the experience, make sure to plan up to three hours of time in order to experience the entire campus fully. Many restaurants on site, beer and coffee are easily available. Plenty of places for children to enjoy, as well as adults. Bring a soccer ball if you can!

I love this place and can relate to it to be an UNESCO world heritage. It's absolutely impressive and stunning. As a German I didn't even know what was here to see. Dimensions are huge and the industrial style to me looks surreal. I will definitely come back to see more and make a guided tour. There is a lot of industrial history here.

Interesting to visit, however the visiting time is very limited and the 2G rule is there although it is outdoor.

(Translated by Google) We found it very nice. Were there on a Saturday and only at 9 p.m., but there was still a lot going on. But we didn't have to wait long. The lights and attractions were beautiful and photo worthy. (Original) Wir fanden es sehr schön. Waren an einem Samstag da und erst um 21 Uhr, dafür war aber noch ordentlich was los. Anstehen mussten wir aber nicht groß. Die Lichter und Attraktionen waren schön und Fotos wert.

(Translated by Google) [03/04/2022] Located at the exhibition center in Essen, the GrugaPark offers many activities in summer and winter. Every year after dusk, the Gruga lights are a colorful and attractive place to visit with many different light installations in shape and color. Always a highlight for photographers. A toilet and stops for eating and drinking are also available. There are several parking lots around the park. Admission is €6.00 ​​for adults. (Original) [04.03.2022] An der Messe in Essen gelegen bietet der GrugaPark im Sommer und Winter viele Aktivitäten. Das Grugaleuchten ist jedes Jahr nach der Dämmerung eine bunte und attraktive Besuchsmöglichkeit mit vielen verschiedenen Lichtinstallationen in Form und Farbe. Für Fotografen immer ein Highlight. Ein WC sowie Stops zum essen und trinken sind auch vorhanden. Rund um den Park gibt es mehrere Parkplätze. Der Eintritt kostet für Erwachsene 6,00 Euro.

(Translated by Google) It was absolutely beautiful. A lot to see. Terrain that is sometimes difficult for older people and yet very dark. But everything worked out. A great attraction for young and old. Price performance top! The physical well-being was also provided in abundance at affordable prices. Toilets clean 👍🏼 Tip: Use the side entrances and book the tickets in advance. Then it's a walk through, the parking lot on the side of the road was SO free. We'd love to come back. (Original) War voll schön. Viel zu sehen. Für ältere Leute teilweise schwieriges Terrain und doch sehr dunkel. Aber hat alles geklappt. Für Groß und Klein ne tolle Attraktion. Preis Leistung top! Für das leibliche Wohl wurde auch reichlich gesorgt zu erschwinglichen Preisen. Toiletten sauber 👍🏼 Tip: Nutzt die Seiteneingänge und bucht die Karten vorab. Dann ist es ein Durchmarsch, auch der Parkplatz war SO am Straßenrand kostenlos. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

(Translated by Google) Always worth seeing. Very lovingly designed light installations. Dogs are also allowed. The park shines with new lights every year and different themes are implemented. There are always a few installations that stand out and the €7 entry fee is definitely worth it. (Original) Immer wieder sehenswert. Sehr liebevoll gestaltet Lichtinstallationen. Auch Hunde dürfen mit. Der Park erstrahlt jedes Jahr in neuem Lichterglanz und verschiedene Themen werden umgesetzt. Es gibt immer ein paar Installation, die herausstechen und die 7 € Eintritt sind es definitiv wert.

(Translated by Google) A very nice place to host the park lights. It was very beautiful and very fascinating. There is also food and drink there, and the price-performance ratio of the entire event is reasonable. It's also worth going there with children, as there are also interactive activities for young and old. (Original) Ein sehr schöner Ort um das Parkleuchten zu veranstalten. Es war sehr schön und sehr faszinierend. Es gibt dort auch Essen und Trinken, das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis der gesamten Veranstaltung ist angemessen. Es lohnt sich auch mit Kindern dort hinzufahren, dort gibt es auch interaktive Beschäftigungen für Groß und klein.

(Translated by Google) An event that you have to see if you come from the Ruhr area. We were there on a weekday and got a parking space straight away. We had already booked the tickets (adults €9) online and it was very quick at the entrance. Beautiful light events in different shapes and sizes. A great artist! You can also get mulled wine, coffee and bratwurst if you're slightly hungry. A bratwurst in a bun for €4 is reasonable. It took us about 1 1/2 to 2 hours and it was a nice trip ;-) (Original) Eine Veranstaltung die man gesehen haben muss wenn man aus dem Ruhrgebiet kommt. Wir waren an einem Wochentag dort und haben auch sofort einen Parkplatz bekommen. Die Tickets ( Erwachsene 9€ )hatten wir online schon gebucht und es ging sehr schnell am Eingangsbereich. Wunderschöne Lichtereignisse in verschiedenen Formen und Größen. Ein toller Künstler ! Glühwein, Kaffee und Bratwurst für den kleinen Hunger kann man auch bekommen. Eine Bratwurst im Brötchen für 4€ sind angemessen. Wir benötigten ca 1 1/2 bis 2 Stunden und es war ein schöner Ausflug ;-)

(Translated by Google) I was just blown away, there was a lot on offer and it was very well attended. And the entrance fee is totally justified at 9 euros for an adult. The only drawback is perhaps the search for a parking space. (Original) Ich war nur hin und weg , es wird einen viel geboten und es war auch sehr gut besucht . Und der Eintritt ist total gerechtfertigt mit 9 Euro für einen Erwachsenen . Das einzige Manko ist vielleicht die Parkplatz suche .

(Translated by Google) Beautiful light installations. Really great for 2-3 hours to walk and switch off. I would only recommend this to a limited extent with children. At the end there are lights in a park. There is no interaction to speak of. This probably makes it quickly uninteresting for children. 1 star less because there are no signposts. If you don't know your way around the park, you'll quickly find yourself in front of an exit that's not the one you came in through. That might have to be changed. (Original) Schöne Lichtinstallationen. Für 2-3 Stunden zum spazieren und abschalten wirklich toll. Mit Kindern würde ich das nur eingeschränkt empfehlen. Am Ende sind es Lichter in einem Park. Es gibt keine nennenswerte Interaktion. Das macht es, wahrscheinlich, für Kinder schnell uninteressant. 1 Stern weniger, da es keine Wegweiser gibt. Wenn man sich in dem Park nicht auskennt, steht man mal schnell vor einem Ausgang, der nicht der ist, durch den man rein gekommen ist. Das müsste man vll. ändern.

(Translated by Google) A highlight in Grugapark is the evening park lights. Entry to Grugapark is NOT free. There are a few toilets in the park and the on-site parking spaces are completely overcrowded, so you have to park a little outside and walk quite a bit to the entrances. The park lights are lovingly made, especially for children, and combine (light) art with outdoor exercise. Definitely recommended! (Original) Ein Highlight im Grugapark ist das abendliche Parkleuchten. Für den Besuch des Grugaparks ist der Eintritt NICHT kostenlos. Es gibt ein paar wenige Toiletten im Park und die Parkplätze vor Ort sind vollkommen überfüllt, sodass man etwas außerhalb parken muss und zu den Eingängen noch ein gutes Stück laufen muss. Das Parkleuchten ist besonders für Kinder total liebevoll gemacht und verbindet (Licht-)Kunst mit Bewegung im Freien. Definitiv zu empfehlen!

(Translated by Google) Worth a look, interesting and romantic experience. Definitely go and check it out. Your physical well-being is also taken care of. (Original) Sollte man sich anschauen, interessant und Romantisches Erfahrung. Geht auf jeden Fall hin und schaut es euch an. Für euer leibliches Wohl ist auch gesorgt.

Great way to remind ourselves to look into a little bit of the history. Really loved the experience its well kept. Used translator app to see a lot of descriptions of artifacts but over all still found it to be a well worth experience.

Villa Hügel - more like a castle with Italien or French flair. Impressive to see how the Krupp dynasties lived there from 1880 to 1945. Fair price of 5 EUR to visit. You should plan 1 hour for the house and at least 1-2 hours for the park / gardens.

Very nice, well maintained park. Didn't see the villa, came for the nature :)

a very beautiful historical place, it will be useful for children and teenagers to go on a tour, as it is part of the history of Essen and the whole land of NRW in general. It can be seen that the place is cared for and properly serviced, very modern information is presented regarding the history of the Krupp’s family and the history of Villa Hugel estate in general. By the way, tours are free every first Friday of the month. There is parking and snacks, a good place for walks.

I've seen a few castles and museums in my day. I am not sure if I am being fair, historical building with large ballrooms and art work of the family. I was very disappointed nothing to show life of the family. No video but you can take pictures, verboten... just incase you cannot climb the staircase....

This is an impressive villa that underwent redecorating after the first owner died. The family portraits in the entrance hall are great. We went on a guided tour. Otherwise we would not have learned anything about the place as it's not a museum with a curated exhibition. Rather, the villa is mainly used for Foundation events and concerts. They have a small exhibition on the Krupp family in a side wing of the house. I would have loved to get more hardcore history facts. But it was a nice visit.

The us an amazing place within a beautiful parc. But, the guidance to the place by Google for bycicles from the lake baldeney is a nightmare. Following the guidance given, he gets to the always closed side entrance on the west side of the park. From there, it is another longer way uphill and through the settlement to the main gate. Much better it is to cycle to zhe Essen Hügel railway station. From there, it is only a stone's throw away to the south gate at the lakeside. Therefore, it is not recommended to follow either the Google or the bycicle way sign!

Impressive history, buildings and park. Worth a visit.

Highly recommend it, been there twice in 5 years. Would help if there was a bit if english in the museum, but... yeah. All items are very well kept. Great to be visited in the morning or in the autumn before closing time.

The ticket costs 10€. But inside there are few rooms to see. Beautiful park, this is where you should take a walk.

very interesting fairytale place with aristocratic spirit! the place is very good for weekend walks. with the Great Garden and the spirit of the whole estate one manages to abstract from the energetic modern city life

My friend and I just moved in! We threw a massive rager! It was so fun! Jkjk but this is a must see stop in Essen. I enjoyed every second of my time here (only complaint is I wish I could’ve seen more of the interior) and wish I had more time to explore the grounds.

It's really so beautiful here. You can enjoy the buildings with its fascinating architecture as well as the wonderful gardens.

We thoroughly enjoyed dinner and amazing show at our company Christmas function

Super Show, super Service.

SIMPLY THE BEST

Me and my daughter love this place. We came for show and we are never disappointed.

Some friends from Essen took us here in 2014 and we come back 2 or 3 times a year its just so much a great night out entertainment is amazing we go home with sore sides from laughing and contented tummies from the great food

Every show has it's own personality, every time we are there it feels like first time, waiters are also kind and fast. Five stars.

A nice atmosphere to unwind and to watch artistic people on stage. We enjoyed and laughed a lot.

Great evening… atmosphere, show

Very nice show. Picture some cirque de soleil meets offbeat Swiss comedy during the intermissions.

Easily my favourite visit in Essen. Small as art museums go, but the architecture suits the work well, it's light and airy and quiet. Collection is diverse and I liked that it wasn't split by art movement like in a lot of museums (it's curated by mood and theme). They had a super fascinating ranking of provenance in some of the collection which I would like to see picked up as a methodology in more museums, and the explanation gave a rare and valuable insight into the working of museums, which felt really special. Also, they had a Barnett Newman, which I did not know going in, and it's breathtaking. Rather excessive number of security guards here though (like 2-3 per room??!), and one of them kept pacing across the room and back again and snorting which was a little distracting in a quiet museum 😅 Staff on the front desk and Garderobe were very kind however and generally an enjoyable visit 😊

The Folkwang museum has an exciting architecture, continuously combining interior and exterior, deliberately presenting the exhibition halls as a maze, interjecting reading and rest areas, enticing one to just wander around and discover. Great collection of German Expressionists. I came to Essen especially to see this museum and stayed for 2 days, it is that good! And the direction decided to keep entrance free, as a gift to art lovers.

Disorder and lack of coherent display of artworks. The spaces of this museum are actually huge, but they are not rationally exploited: The managers have tried to mix in the same room , for example, an ancient Egyptian statue next to the expressionism artworks : There is no clear meaning in doing this . The visitors have no chance to understand where is the logical or historical link between ancien Egypt statuary and Expressionismus. This is just one of the many examples I collected during my visit. Nolde is in one room, then in another and moreover in another. But there is no Leitmotiv in such a display , no chronology and no link among artworks. Frankly it gives the impression of visiting a storeroom. Folkwang in the past was better placed when organising an exhibition on ONE artist or on ONE mainstream school of artists. But its permanent collection, albeit on rotation of artworks, has deceived me beyond any expectations. We are however grateful for the kindness from the museum managers to let the admission free of charge.

Emblematic collection in a gorgeous building. The folkwang collection tells the story of early 20th century art and it's problematic treatment during WW2. Plus holds contemporary exhibition of great renown. It's a busy place, schools, busses with visitors,... But they tend to stick to the big exhibits and not the rest of the collection. Also worth mentioning: well stocked and original museum shop!

Great art ,barrier free museum, worth visiting. And the entrance is free of charge. It is closed on Monday.

Major art collection in a beautiful modern building by David Chipperfield, also showing changing exhibition. The current print exhibition was excellent. The collection galleries are very spacious (almost empty...) with an interesting, maybe slightly overworked mixed hanging. There is a well stocked museum shop and excellent museum restaurant. Highly recommended

Enormous collection in a beutiful space. You will need all day if you want to see everything

Great permanent collection. Entry and cloakroom are free of charge. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Had a wonderful Sunday morning here.

Spectacular museum. Their collection is beautiful, modern, and unique. The staff here are very friendly and professional. Given that this is a free museum, we were very impressed with how well managed, organized, and clean the entire place was. We came early in the morning and there were only 2 or 3 other guests in each gallery, which made our experience that much better. Highly recommend this place if you're visiting Essen.

A large permanent exhibition with a current exhibition celebrating 100 years to the collection. The museum has many pleasant spaces, there's a lot to see but also places to take a pause or rest. Many highlights, in and out the special exhibition for which you stand in line and pay 14€ The permanent exhibition is for free! Because one of us is impressionism fan, we took the line and paid for RENOIR, MONET, GAUGUIN - but also without that, I'd enjoy the visit.

The only issue I have with this place is the security staff. Wow. Just wow. So intrusive. All dressed in black like some squad of inspectors waiting to pounce. Otherwise it’s a great gallery. Apparently voted most beautiful gallery in the world.. mmm that I can’t see. But it’s a great gallery space however. Really nice collection. Free entry. Some beautiful Buddhas and bodhisattvas. It’s all hung by theme which I’m not much of a fan of. Could do with some improvements but you’re getting 4/5. Just sort your imposing security out please

I was so pleased to have visited this. Excellent and well worth the visit if your in this area. You would be sad if you missed it. This museum has a GREAT permanent collection from the impressionists onwards - The collection is stunning, all the big names. it's set out in light galeries; beautifully laid out.

What a wonderful surprise! The building itself is remarkable. Permanent collection of the highest quality. It's a must if you're in Essen, but it's worth a trip even if you're far away.

The regular exhibition is free and is alone worth visiting. The building itself is modern and has many sitting areas to chill or take a break. Most staff are friendly but some are a bit stern. I personally don’t care about how and when the buyers aquired which paintings. But that was the focus of the text in the current main exhibition of Renoir, Monet, Gauguin.

Funny how I never really come out through the same route that I entered…lol… ITS THAT BIG is all I’m saying. Linked to a couple underground train stations, right in the city Center of Essen. About 4/5 floors if I’m not mistaken. There’s basically everything there, good thing too is you don’t get to pay to use the convenience (thankfully 😹). Parking is underground, not sure what the rate is. Primark’s building is quite a walkable distance too. It’s a really big mall so Ofcourse expect the crowd.

Good shopping complex with lot of branded shops. Nice place to hang with family and friends. Lot of Restaurant for food as well. Great location , just near the BERLINER PLATZ U BAHN station. Always crowded during weekends. In weekdays normally crowded after lunchtime. There are grocery shop as well like rewe. Saturn is there for electronics goods . Macd , subways are there to eat . Overall a perfect place to spend your day with your family and friends.

It's very nice and friendly people working there. And It is a very nice and cosy shopping centre in the centre of the city

Probably the most happening place in Essen with almost everything you might need. Also located conveniently beside the U11 subway in Essen. Most importantly there is a supermarket there

Great place to shop and hangout. Really an active and vibrant mall with a nice food court. Easily accessible from the Berliner Platz U-Bahn.

Este sitio está genial para hacer compras con la familia o solo hay restaurantes bares tiendas tienes de todo (Translated by Google) This place is great for shopping with the family or there are only restaurants, bars, shops, you have everything

Nice Mall for shopping and spend time with friends indoor

Excellent place to shop clothes and many other products. Good options to eat both inside and right outside the building. Can get crowded sometimes. Happening place to hangout.

Beautifully decorated for Christmas every year. One place to shop for several things all at the same time. Also has good connectivity to other parts of the city by Underground directly inside the mall.

Great mall! But Bluebrixx was almost impossible to find as it was not on the directory.

My most favourite shopping mall in Germany is only 1 Euro per hour for a parking fee and extremely neat and clean. Also, all the known brands are there as well. Highly recommended

Beautiful decorations with Christmas trees all around the mall. Everyone is shopping 🛍️ as there are Black Friday discounts are available in almost all shops. Festival season 😍

The area is great - we didn't have much time for everything and choose this. The building is amazing! Husband is a designer - I am an artist - we felt there was a total lack of info. It's fun to see things - but why did they get a red dot? Why are they special?? No info - so disappointed. There were one or 2 things that stood out.

I thought this place was really neat. Maybe a couple of hours there but cool to see innovation in progress. Plus great reuse of old coal furnace complex. Well worth an afternoon.

Nice and interesting place, the location is great, in old coal mine.

We spontaneously visited, no wait at entry, the whole exhibition of the design awarded products took us less than 1-hour. The place itself is interesting, the exhibition itself was not too exciting for me, but that's just my personal opinion, I am sure many others did enjoy it more !

Very nice museum. Visited already two times and saw many interesting products. Ticket prices are really good. You can even enter it for free when you own a Ruhr.topcard.

The visit to the modern design museum is very interesting, it is the largest museum in Europe. It's a very interesting visit because the modern design museum is inside an old iron factory and it is wonderful to be able to see what the old factory was like inside and at the same time enjoy the modern design exhibition. The museum closes at 6 pm.

Super friendly stuff and super cool location. The idea itself is also nice but it totally misses out on explanations on the items itself. Why is it so special? Just a few had that info. Maybe less products (but more info on the item) would be helpfull for the visitors in order to understand why the product has won the award. Sometimes you feel like in a store.

Really enjoyed this museum, my only negative would be some more understanding of the designs, why and how they were designed. A more indepth explanation of some of the exceptional design pieces would be good. I did particularly enjoy the lighting exhibition. It costs 6euro to enter.

The museum itself is beautiful, old factory combined with shiny new designs, bathtubs, bicycles, beauty materials, etc. Nice staff and they serve tea and coffee.

Beautiful old city center . Nice and quite . Good to walk around and take some great pictures .

Fabulous historical place with cosy atmosphere😊👌

Lovely small old town in the middle of the usually industry heavy ruhrpott

(Translated by Google) A beautiful historic old town of Kettwig, a district of Essen. A place that invites you to linger. Many half-timbered houses clad in slate. You can also go down to the Ruhr. (Original) Eine wunderschöne historische Altstadt von Kettwig ein Ortsteil von Essen. Ein Ort, der zum Verweilen einlädt. Viele Fachwerkhäuser mit Schiefer verkleidet. Man kann auch runter zur Ruhr gehen.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful half-timbered houses, an old town with charm. It's worth a visit ! 😀👍 (Original) Schöne Fachwerkhäuser, eine Altstadt mit Charme. Ein Besuch lohnt sich ! 😀👍

(Translated by Google) I love the old town of Kettwig. Lovingly maintained half-timbered houses, backyards, gardens and alleys everywhere. There are new, great photo opportunities on every corner. Pay attention to the details on houses, shutters, doors and alleys. You sometimes feel like you have been transported back to the Middle Ages. Also good for a nice walk. (Original) Ich liebe die Altstadt von Kettwig. Überall liebevoll gepflegte Fachwerkhäuser, Hinterhöfe, Gärten und Gassen. An jeder Ecke findet man neue tolle Fotomotive. Achtet auf die Details an Häusern, Fensterläden, Türen und Gassen. Man fühlt sich teilweise ins Mittelalter zurück versetzt. Auch gut für einen schönen Spaziergang.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful historic old town with many localities and sights to relax and enjoy 👍👍👍👍 (Original) Sehr schöne historische Altstadt mit vielen Lokalitäten und Sehenswürdigkeiten zum Entspannen und Genießen 👍👍👍👍

Much to see from large variety of things. Little hard to navigate And there could have been more storytelling or putting it all together. But definitely worth a visit

We visited the temporary exhibition about football (please don’t call it soccer). Bilingual (German/English) descriptions everywhere. Mostly photographs, I had hoped for videos with audio commentary, but none of that. Limited audio guide accessible through the Ruhr Museum app. Great photographs though. We didn’t book a tour but were able to listen in whilst strolling through the exhibition - I would recommend you book that guide! Only a quick visit to the permanent exhibition, certainly a lot to explore. Love the orange staircase!!!

Nice place to visit ! Interesting and educational. Nature, art, technology, everybody will find something :-)

One of the best things to do if you have free time go and check out the museum take some photos and enjoy

The most uninteresting museum in Ruhr but at the same time the most expensive one = 15€ 😮 The exhibition is just a set of garbage, no structure, no idea, no interesting information. And the most part of the exhibition is just photos. Seriously? Photos I can watch in the internet for free. “Temporary” exhibition is just photos about football, but they didn’t explain us before sell this “temporary” part (+5€ for this). The panorama is also not catching.

Hosted in a very cool, industrial building the Ruhr museum has large collections of exhibits from several periods and civilizations and tells the story and evolution of the area over the years. It can feel a bit disjointed and random at times, but there's definitely enough to catch your interest.

Worth the journey. It, was the biggest site in Europe. A fantastic exhibition showing the influence on society as the industrial revolution developed within the Ruhr area . We spent almost 4 hours.

Very beautiful place. At first I visited the old site where charcoal was made and I can assure you that it is magnificent. I would like to mention too that the tickets of the museum are free for students. Visited the old industrial museum as well as the historical museum. Lots of history, old stuff and i can assure that you’ll learn a lot of things about the Rhur. You can spend hours into this museum and not get bored, the place is enormous.

Amazing structure, the building itself is worth a visit. Had kind of expected the museum to be about mining and how it worked, given the location, so a bit disappointed that it just touched on that. Would have loved to have the various structures explained not to mention the process of mining in the area. Was more a mishmash of all kinds of things. Some very interesting, some not so much. I feel like it would be much better if it picked a subject and went with that rather than jumping from natural history to archaeology to geology to photography to history. Definitely too much going on and none of it exceptionally well. Like a restaurant who's menu is too long, you know the food is going to be mediocre at best.

The atmosphere there is really unique, as all the exhibitions take place in a former factory but with a modern inside design. It is free for students and one can spend 2-3 hours easily, learning a lot about the region history AND nature ! Highly recommend it, especially as the city itself is not that great.

Great place to spend time learning about “Ruhrgebiet”, the area where mining industry was in full bloom during the Industrial Revolution. I didn’t have much time to finish all the tours, and it’s an ambitious museum that showcases almost everything related to the Ruhr area. Like many of the reviews have mentioned, I’d recommend at least 3-4 hours if you’re looking forward to examining all the museum has to offer. The museum is one of a kind; situated close to the past machineries used in mining, it gives access to the actual mining site (ticket sold separately) and itself a coal washing plant building. The entry ticket includes access to the rooftop panoramic view. The museum gives visitors abundant knowledge about the Ruhr area through a collection of historical and geographical records. I was hoping to see more of how the mining process works, but this museum is dedicated to the area itself and mining wasn’t the sole focus of this museum. To be noted that the museum shop offers quite unique items and is worth browsing. There’s a caveat: it didn’t offer a specific children’s itinerary or guide to the permanent exhibition, which I think is a pity.

If you only plan to go to one museum in Germany, THIS IS THE ONE. Very inspiring narrative. From pre-history, to history, to industrialisation, to change in people’s life and deterioration of environment, to transformation and recovery, the museum tells the entire story of the famous region - its birth, its development, its glory, its sorrow, its rebirth.

Very cool! Check.out the shops as well.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful historic homes. You can also just drive through it by car (Original) Wunderschöne historische Häuser. Kann man auch wunderbar eben mit dem Auto durchfahren

(Translated by Google) Very nice residential area with a lot of history. But do yourself a favor and come by tram (U17/Laubenweg stop) or by bike. Residents already have enough problems finding parking spaces. The after-work market, which takes place every second Wednesday in the summer months, is highly recommended. And this is a residential area, not a museum village where you can stare into the windows or enter the gardens without being asked. (Original) Sehr schöne Wohngegend mit viel Historie. Aber tut euch einen gefallen kommt mit der Straßenbahn (U17/Haltestelle Laubenweg) oder mit dem Fahrrad. die Anwohner haben schon genug Problem Parkplätze zu finden. Sehr empfehlenswert ist der Feierabendmarkt der in den Sommermonaten jeden 2 Mittwoch stattfindet. Und es handelt sich hier um eine Wohnsiedlung nicht um ein Museumsdorf wo man in die Fenster gaffen darf oder ungefragt die Gärten betritt.

(Translated by Google) Great for a weekend walk. Parking is not a problem. There is a market square including Edeka and ice cream parlor. (Original) Toll für einen Spaziergang am Wochenende. Parken ist kein Problem. Es gibt einen Marktplatz samt Edeka und Eiscafe.

(Translated by Google) As an Essener, I have been there many times. Both professionally and privately. This settlement, which is what we are talking about here, is divided into a mercilessly historical part. A place where hobby and professional photographers get their eyes shining. This definitely includes the marketplace. Where there is a big fountain. Which is really worth seeing. But the hotel on the market square is also an eye-catcher. Another highlight would be the Edeka supermarket. The facade has been preserved. Even if modern technology has found its way inside. But there is also a lot to see away from the market square. Like the only gate that can be seen in many historical photos. I could now list this and that here. But I can recommend everyone to come by themselves. Then not only look at the place described, but also walk through the settlement on the other side of Sommerburg Street. There are also many historical buildings to see here. Where new ones were added in between. In any case, there is still a farm that has been slightly converted into an inn with a beer garden. (Original) Als Essener bin ich schon oft dort gewesen. Sowohl Beruflich, als auch Privat. Diese Siedlung, um die es hier geht, teilt sich auf, in einen gnadenlos Historischen Teil. Ein Ort wo Hobby und auch Profi Fotografen, glänzende Augen bekommen. Dazu zählt in jedem Fall der Marktplatz. Wo es einen großen Brunnen gibt. Der wirklich sehenswert ist. Doch auch das Hotel am Marktplatz ist ein Hingucker. Als weiteres Highlight, wäre der Edeka Supermarkt. Die Fassade ist erhalten geblieben. Wenn auch drinnen die moderne Technik Einzug erhalten hat. Doch auch abseits des Marktplatzes gibt es viel zu sehen. Wie das einzige Tor, welches auf vielen historischen Fotos zu sehen ist. Ich könnte jetzt noch dies und das hier aufzählen. Doch kann ich da lieber jedem empfehlen selbst vorbei zu kommen. Dann nicht nur diesen beschriebenen Ort sich anzuschauen, sondern auch durch die Siedlung auf der anderen Seite der Sommerburg Straße zu spazieren. Hier gibt es auch noch viele historische Gebäude zu sehen. Wo dazwischen dann auch neue dazu gekommen sind. In jedem Fall ist da noch ein Bauernhof, der zu einem Gasthof mit Biergarten ein wenig umgebaut wurde.

(Translated by Google) A true gem in Essen. The lovingly designed architecture and the lush greenery give the feeling of being in a completely different city, and also relatively close to the more urban parts of the city, which don't necessarily score points with beauty. There is an idyllic calm here, which is nevertheless characterized by liveliness. Even the Edeka on the small market square above the stairs is reminiscent of the small grocery stores of the past. (Original) Ein wahres Juwel in Essen. Die liebevoll gestaltete Architektur und das üppige Grün vermitteln das Gefühl, in einer ganz anderen Stadt zu sein, und das auch noch in relativer Nähe zu den urbaneren Stadtteilen, die nicht unbedingt mit Schönheit punkten. Hier herrscht eine idyllische Ruhe, die dennoch von Lebendigkeit geprägt ist. Sogar das Edeka am kleinen Marktplatz oberhalb der Treppe erinnert am die kleinen Lebensmittelgeschäfte von früher.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful historical settlement with listed houses, really worth seeing!!! Don't forget your camera. On the market square you can drink coffee or wine in the hotel and go out for dinner. There is also an ice cream parlor and bakery. The tour can be booked in advance via the Ruhrmuseum. You can view a historic model apartment. (Original) Wunderschöne historische Siedlung mit denkmalgeschützten Häusern, wirklich sehenswert!!! Fotokamera nicht vergessen. Am Marktplatz kann man im Hotel Kaffee oder Wein trinken, Essen gehen. Gibt noch eine Eisdiele und Bäcker. Führung ist vorab buchbar über Ruhrmuseum. Man kann dabei eine historische Musterwohnung besichtigen.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful old houses with lots of greenery between and around the buildings; A very well-preserved settlement from the 1920s, at least externally; However, the parking situation is difficult for the residents, all streets are full of cars; (Original) Schöne alte Häuser mit viel Grün zwischen und an den Gebäuden; zumindest äußerlich sehr gut erhaltene Siedlung aus den 20erJahren des vorigen Jahrhunderts; schwierig allerdings die Parksituation für die Bewohner, alle Straßen sind voll gestellt mit PKWs;

(Translated by Google) It was wonderful, everything was so well maintained and clean, interesting to see the beautiful houses. Recommended. (Original) Wunderschön war es, alles so gepflegt und sauber, interessant die schönen Häuser zu sehen. Empfehlenswert.

Excellent exhibition space. Very accessible with a u bahn station reaching right till the entrance.

We visited the Messe Essen while attending the board game fair Spiel 2019. The halls are impressively big. The organisation at the entrance was very well prepared, despite the large number of people waiting. There was a large area for food stalls too, and we didn't have to wait in line (impressive!) Also the parking was very well organized. It seems to be a good place for large events.

Great event venue and fantastic space. The food and drinks are expensive but it is to be expected. Park and ride worked perfectly for getting to and from the show too.

We were there for the Spiel and we were especially interested to see tabletop scenery and Warhammer related things. For that it was nice but the Spiel in general was amazing. We were able to try several board games. Some left a deep impression. The Spiel is a huge convention, much bigger than most counterparts. The convention halls were like most other convention halls.

Techno Classica in Essen Germany 🇩🇪. The exhibition for a car enthusiast, every year in spring time to be held.

Huge really huge place. We were here for the horse messe Euitana. The people at the security are very friendly but really strict. The place is very well maintained and marked properly so you never get lost. The toilets are neat and clean and are wiped and maintained throughout the day.

Fantastic experience for Essen Motorshow 2023. Only advice is to get there early in the morning to avoid the traffic

🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩 une magnifique expérience malgré le froid à l'extérieur. (Translated by Google) 🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩 a magnificent experience despite the cold outside.

Very large halls, well lit amd good ventilation. Good food options.

Loved em big cars yk big up da event

It was my first time at the Messe for Das Spiel. Very exciting.

Every year the last 18 years (with a break for Corona) I have visited Essen fair. I feel it is a large and fairly well laid out fair area with a total of 8 large halls. I have only been here for Spiel (Board game). And I love to go here and see what is new. Meet up with old and new friends.

An excellent location, home of the Essen Philarmoniker (one of the best orchestras in Europe) and hosting a number of guest Orchestras and artists at world class level.

is a concert venue. The original building was completed in 1902, and destroyed during World War II on 26 July 1943. was rebuilt between 1949 and 1954 and completely renovated in 2003 and 2004. The first concert venue at the same place, the so-called Stadtgartensaal, was opened in 1864. A new concert venue was built in 1901 at the same place – the first Saalbau. At the opening on 24 September 1904 conducted Richard Strauss. After World War II, between 1949 and 1954, a modernized version was rebuilt. The most significant attribute of the building was the copper roof of the building.

Premier of Mahler 6, wonderful place to enjoy classical music

Have been there for an evening, the staff were nice although we were a couple of minutes late. For students there are special offers and even free philharmonic performances if I understood correctly. Culture yourself and listen to some class here

Beautiful

We were there for a most enjoyable concert. Staff friendly and helpful, auditorium with fab acoustic

Visited concert halls in Bochum Mulheim and Essen during the Rhur piano festival and the one in Essen is my least favorite, especially considering Essen is the biggest city among them all. Seats are incredibly narrow, definitely not enough (at all) instructions for where the seats are both outside and inside the hall, at least for non-German speaker. The park where the philharmonie is at is cute for anyone who wants a morning walk.

Very beautiful place, friendly staff and great performers. Thanks for a good time.

Listened to Bruckner's symphony No. 8, most moving performance by the orchestra

Fantastic acoustic in the place. Brave enough to play contemporary academic music. And play it as good as hell!

I am no expert, but I had the feeling that the acoustic isn't the best. I was sitting on the upper left side. A real shame if you don't want to miss all the details. Maybe next time try central sitting, even if it would be more expensive. Excellent Cabernet Sauvignon Luna (white wine) at the entrance bar.

Beautiful place, no card payment at upper floor, be careful 🙈

2022.4.29 It was on my way to downtown. According to wiki, it "is one of the largest, best preserved and architecturally most impressive testimonies to Jewish culture in pre-war Germany." In 1913, it was the new synagogue. There was a police car parked near by.

It's a beautiful Old Synagoge with an awesome history... A guided tour is recommended.. The guide explains each and every details.. and it's awesome...

It was very interesting for me as I was not familiar with Jewish beliefs before. The synagoge is gorgeous and you are free to explore all floors (for free) and stay as long as you like. There are also exibitions on each floor. I would highly recommend it to everyone!

#Essen #JewishCulture #Museum Surprisingly this museum is a must if you want to learn more about Jewish culture, not only focused in Essen, but all around the world. Free entrance, audioguide available, lockers for clothes.

I visited the Alte Synagoge for a cultural event. It was a pleasant journey through the Tango's lifetime. Miguel Wolf presented his attitude toward Tango and how he encountered it.

Sencilla pero bonita suficiente, para rezar y rendir culto no hace falta más, me ha sorprendido su sencillez (Translated by Google) Simple but pretty enough, to pray and worship you don't need anything else, I was surprised by its simplicity

Really interesting! The museum inside is very modern done, lots of things to see and do. There is a wall with famous people that have some kind of Jewish relation, and you are able to see and learn some traditional Jewish dances. This was really fun to do.

Un lugar precioso lleno de paz permiten visita libre (Translated by Google) A beautiful place full of peace, they allow free visits

Quite some history inside and some insight about Jewish history and difference in calendars. Interesting, would have loved to spend more and also wish to use the guide CD for more understanding of the beautiful culture. Next time shall dedicated more time. Loved it

Here you can find the great history and many art pieces the place is also free you dont need any tickets to get inside and there are some decent projectors which you could have some fun with It is a worthy experience.

2022.4.29 Essener Münster / Essen Cathedral / Essener Dom is a Roman catholic church, sits right in the crowded downtown.

Nice place just lot of i.l.l.e.g.a.l m.i.g.r.a.n.t.s around, be aware.

Peaceful and calm place to reflect and offer prayers. The big crucifix outside also feels solemn. It is easy to find this because it is just in the middle of the busy shopping streets of essen.

Beautiful interior, be sure to view both the small chapel and the main cathedral and go down the stairs to see the crypt

Top and perhaps the only place to see in central Essen. Golden Madonna is magnificent. There are few more pieces of art surviving. Otherwise, the cathedral is quite empty- I guess due to the bombing campaign during Second World War.

a very particular catedral. It‘s not so big and not so stunning like other catedrals in Germany, but for me it‘s a very good experience to get inside and feel the peace.

Quiet place to pray. Very well maintained! There is a ramp for wheelchair and stroller. 12 o’clock pray at working days.

Essen Light feativalmust experience the beauty of "light art..."

At first sight, I thought this would be just another medieval cathedral. But thanks to the local guide, it was much more. There is a great story about Essen Cathedral being one of the first education institutions for women and about sacred artisan products the "students of Cathedral" made! The cathedral also has a beautiful statue of Our Lady and a great collection of saints' relics (a lot of them being both Orthodox and Catholic saints). All in one, all credit to the local guides who made the visit to the cathedral beautiful and meaningful! Places like this could really be the bridge between the East and the West!

A beautiful church with amazing architecture. The masses are held at both adoration church and the Dom ( Big one). I used to attend Mass at adoration church at 7 am on weekday and at 10 am in the Dom church on Sunday. More timings are available in the Essen minister website.

(Translated by Google) The carillon is really beautiful and worth stopping and watching for the entire duration of the game. It is definitely worth a trip if you are in Essen. (Original) Das Glockenspiel ist wirklich schön und es lohnt sich, während der gesamten Spieldauer stehen zu bleiben und es sich anzuschauen. Es ist in jedem Fall einen Ausflug wert, wenn man in Essen ist.

(Translated by Google) not really cute anymore (Original) richtig süß mehr nicht

(Translated by Google) Unique. Where is there an ophthalmologist's office with a chime? (Original) Einmalig. Wo gibt es schon eine Augenarztpraxis mit Glockenspiel?

(Translated by Google) If you're in town, you should check it out. (Original) Wenn man in der Stadt ist, sollte man es sich mal angesehen haben.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting to see and hear (Original) Sehr interessant zu sehen und zu hören
