ExtraSchicht – late-night industrial heritage

A stage at a water purification works, a production at a gasometer or a performance at a colliery: the creative use of industrial monuments in the Ruhr – including those found on the Route of Industrial Heritage – has transformed the region from an area of industry into a centre for culture. ExtraSchicht takes place on one night in the summer and sees industrial monuments in 50 different towns and cities in the Ruhr turned into fantastic venues for international artists.
