With an air attack on the 13th May, 1943 the House Weitmar was ruined. Up to the perimeter walls the old castle and the chapel - and with it also irreplaceable cultural and material values - were destroyed. Leave a Comment Other Contact: no entrance fee

From my experience, many men and kids are into trains, especially those trains that make a lot of noise and produce a tremendous amount of smoke.
If you like to listen to the noise of the steam whistle, you could visit the Eisenbahnmuseum (museum for trains) in Dahlhausen, which is a small suburb of Bochum at the river Ruhr. Here you can find a number of old steam trains and everything else that is somehow related to this way of transportation.
On weekends the museum offers trips with those old trains along the river and in the summer the museum is open till late in the evening (check the homepage for dates and details) so that photo addicts can take wonderful pictures of the trains at sunset...
Adults: €5
Kids: €2.50
Families (2 adults and up to 3 kids): €13 Leave a Comment

Most tourists come to Bochum just to see the musical Starlight Express and leave directly afterwards. What a pity! There is so much else to see and do!
Starlight Express has been running for years and years now and it's said to be the most successful musical in Germany. If you want to get tickets for a certain evening you should still book well from advance just to be sure to get them as the show is sold out quite frequently.
Check the Starlight Express internet page for details. Leave a Comment

 From the Bismarck Tower by Knutt
Bochum is home to wonderful people.
Try to get in contact with the locals. Meet them in their pubs, during a soccer match in the stadium, or join them for inline skating at Lake Kemnade.
Have a tasty 'Doener' at a Turkish fast food place, try the lunch at the local university, or spend a bit more on a candlelight dinner in one of the many restaurants. Leave a Comment
