German Mining Museum

The extraction, processing and utilization of mineral geo-resources, subsumed here under the term ‘mining’, is a subject with great significance for the development of human civilization. The global importance of mining is increasing today, and will no doubt continue to do so in future. This is clear from the political campaigns and the intense media reactions associated with issues of raw material supplies and shortages, and also resource conservation (recycling and the use of renewable energy sources). The work of the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum, as the leading international museum on the mining industry, takes place within this socially relevant context. As one of the Leibniz Association’s research museums, the DBM is devoted to investigating the extraction, processing and utilization of mineral raw materials in the context of social, cultural, ecological and economic dynamics, spanning different historical periods. The museum shows the lasting impact which these processes have had on the development of society, and preserves relevant evidence for future generations. In short: The Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum is the cultural memory of the mining industry.

A must see when visiting the Ruhr Valley. Interesting and historically accurate. Not ideal for small children or people with walking disability.

My wife and I have seen this German version 3 times over the last few years and its as fresh and entertaining as the first time. I have seen Starlight Express also in English in Las Vegas and I think the German version has the edge, mainly because this production is purpose built and it really adds to the adrenalin rush of the show. I have always gone for the swivel seats that are located within the show arena, this means the action is literally going on all around you and you are sitting in the middle of it all, the Bochum show is performed entirely in German, but even if you don't understand German it is still a brilliant production and hugely enjoyable it does not diminish the enjoyment in any shape or form, some shows which are converted from English to another language suffer for it, not so here. This is still the best show I've seen so far and I'm comparing it to big shows I've seen in the West End of London and big budget shows in Las Vegas, there is something just that little bit better about this slick production that makes it stand out from the others. Totally recommend it for all people of all ages.
