In 1972 an artists’ collective took over the mine and started using its former plant as studios, exhibition spaces and a venue for live music. The centre is still going strong today and is open to visitors on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Even if there’s nothin...

In a 2,500-square-metre hall at Riemker Straße 22 there’s a museum for the German car manufacturer Opel. Not an official attraction, the collection was started in 1990 by Hilmar Born, a mechanical engineer.
