Places to visit near the University

Essen is the largest city on the Ruhr and has a population of over half a million people. Many big industrial companies have their headquarters here, and some of them may be visited as part of a guided tour. Essen’s centuries-long history as the center of Germany’s major heavy industries is commemorated in a variety of noteworthy museums and tourist destinations around the region.

1. The Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex: often known as Zeche Zollverein, is one of Essen’s most prominent tourist sites. This intriguing viewing opportunity, known simply as “Zollverein,” is located in a huge abandoned industrial region that was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.
2. Grugapark and the Botanic Garden: The lovely Grugapark, 175 acres of the public park put out in 1929 for the Great Ruhrland Garden Show, is a delightful (and short) stroll from Essen’s city center.
3. The Old Synagogue: The Old Synagogue (Alte Synagogue) in Essen functions as a place of prayer as well as a memorial site. This massive structure, which dates from 1913, is one of Germany’s best-preserved and most remarkable Jewish cultural institutions.
