    LuMagica - what a nice event. The perfect balance between light and darkness, all set in a wonderful rough industrial scene. I wish there would be more such beautiful events in the area! Get some treats on the way and a hot egg nog or cacao and take your time following the path. At the beginning it was a little crowded, but if you let them others pass, you can enjoy the installations in all their beauty.

    We went here today and it was a great experience. We enjoyed climbing up the stairs and seeing everything from up there. The information was mostly in German, with some exceptions, which was unfortunate. However, everything else made up for it.

    I traveled for two hours to visit this place. But at the entry gate found out that last entry was at 15:00. No information was provided on the website about early closing. Please don't come without calling before hand.

  • 4/5 Paul S. 6 years ago on Google
    Well signed routes to explore the site at your own pace. Informative signs in English, although there were some signs in only German. Climbing the blast furnace was interesting, although a bit daunting if you're not keen on heights.

  • 5/5 Marko �. 5 years ago on Google
    You could feel the massivness this factory once represented. Its super awesome that you can reach the top (well almost the top) so you can take in the imense view. After you are done with the factory you can go for a stroll in the nearby park and walk along the river.

    (Translated by Google) The museum offers numerous informative tours, and independent inspection of the blast furnace is also possible. There is a large outside as well as some inside areas. The museum is designed for self-exploration, in addition to the possibility to move freely on the entire site, the industrial museum provides a playground as well as a bistro / restaurant. (Original) Das Museum bietet Zahlreiche informative Führungen an, die selbstständige Begehung des Hochofen ist ebenfalls möglich. Es gibt einen großen außen wie auch einige innen Bereiche.

    (Translated by Google) The industrial museum allows an exciting journey through the industrial history of the city of Hattingen. You can visit almost the entire site, as well as the halls and the blast furnace. There are also explanatory tours and information boards with which you can get a lot of background information. (Original) Das Industriemuseum erlaubt eine spannende Reise durch die industrielle Geschichte der Stadt Hattingen. So gut wie das gesamte Gelände sowie Hallen und der Hochofen können besichtigt werden. Dazu gibt es erläuternde Führungen und Info-Tafeln, mit denen man viele Hintergrundinformationen erhält.

  • 5/5 lukaszacho 5 years ago on Google
    Knowledgable staff, great outside facilities and restaurant, genuine and authentic insight into Ruhrgebiet history and work in the heavy industries of the area. You can even go on top the former blast furnace 3, allowing a great view of the former works’ premises and far beyond. Recommend, for individuals and groups etc.- especially with guided tours, some of them are free on particular days and times during the day! Great way to start a trip in and about Hattingen. PS industrial photography fanatics will surely get their money’s worth;)

  • 4/5 Patrick 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very impressive. Friendly welcome. Admission price more than justified. Shop seller extremely rude. Gastronomy a disaster. Spiced food. Staff extremely inattentive. To add to the museum. Too bad that one already closes areas from 5 p.m., but is still open until 6 p.m. But otherwise it is highly recommended where even a long journey is worthwhile. It is like an adventure because you always discover new things. A piece of history where you can be thankful that it was preserved and will be preserved. (Original) Sehr beeindruckend. Freundlicher Empfang. Eintrittspreis mehr als gerechtfertigt. Shop Verkäuferin äußerst Unfreundlich. Gastronomie eine Katastrophe. Essen kaputt gewürzt. Personal äußerst unaufmerksam. Zum Museum noch zu ergänzen.Schade das man ab 17 Uhr schon Bereiche abschliest.Wobei bis 18 Uhr doch geöffnet ist. Aber ansonsten ist es sehr empfehlenswert wo sich durchaus sogar eine weite anreise lohnt. Es ist wie ein Abenteuer da man immer wieder neues entdeckt. Ein Stück Geschichte wo man dankbar sein darf das es erhalten wurde und erhalten bleibt.

  • 3/5 Tom T. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great tours, always great temporary exhibitions - but the museum as such has come down a bit. Of course, I don't mean the charm of industrial culture, but above all the condition of display boards and boxes. A fresh-up would be urgently needed here. (Original) Tolle Führungen, immer wieder tolle Wechselausstellungen - aber das Museum als solches ist inzwischen etwas heruntergekommen. Damit meine ich natürlich nicht den Charme der Industriekultur, sondern vor allem den Zustand von Schautafeln und -kästen. Hier wäre ein Fresh-up dringend geboten.

  • 5/5 Klaus N. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A very worth seeing monument of industrial culture on the Ruhr. There are informative tours, but you can also explore everything yourself using the information boards. Children have their own ralley, which is accompanied by the museum rat. The route from ore to steel is clearly and clearly explained. The dimensions of the machines are impressive. A highlight is the ascent to the blast furnace - if you have no height difference! Afterwards, beer and currywurst taste particularly good (after all, we're in the Ruhr area!) Highly recommended for a day trip or a side trip on a bike tour along the Ruhr. (Original) Ein sehr sehenswertes Denkmal der Industriekultur an der Ruhr. Es gibt informative Führungen, aber man kann alles auch anhand der Infotafeln selbst gut erkunden den. Für Ki der gibt es eine eigene Ralley, die von der Museumsratte begleitet wird. Der Weg vom Erz bis zum Stahl wird anschaulich und gut erklärt. Beeindruckend sind die Ausmaße der Maschinen. Ein Highlight ist der Aufstieg auf den Hochofen - wenn man keine Höhenunterschied hat! Anschließend schmecken Bier und Currywurst (wir sind schließlich im Ruhrpott!) besonders gut. Absolut zu empfehlen für einen Tagesausflug oder einen Abstecher bei einer Radtour entlang der Ruhr.
