Visible from far and wide is a 50-metre water tower built by August Thyssen in 1892/93 to supply sheet metal rolling mills. Not long after, it was sold to the regional water board and was in service up to the 1980s. Then, in the build-up to Mülheim an der Ruhr’s state garden show in 1992, the tower was turned into a museum. For this, an elevator wa...
Another of the big projects for the Landesgartenschau in 1992 was to landscape this 66-hectare park on left bank of the Ruhr. The land had previously been a scrapyard, industrial ruins and a former railyard for the lower Ruhrtalbahn. Today, walking in the meadows and neatly trimmed formal gardens, you wouldn’t believe that there had ever been anyth...
Another water tower, the Broicher Wasserturm (1904) has also been converted into an innovative visitor attraction. The water tank of this tower was installed with the world’s largest accessible camera obscura in 1992. The optical technology was provided by the Carl Zeiss company, and the camera projects a live, focusable 360° view of the spaces reg...
Moments from the MüGa-Park is one of the oldest preserved fortifications north of the Alps. Schloss Broich goes back to Carolingian times in the 9th century and was constructed to ward off Vikings who had raided the banks of the Ruhr in 883 and set up a winter camp here. The castle eventually grew into a Renaissance palace, and one of Germany’s mos...
Bang in the middle of the city is one of Germany’s largest outdoor theatres, with a capacity for 2,000 spectators in beautiful greenery. The tiers of seats are actually built into a 19th-century quarry and are used for all manner of cultural events on Wednesdays in summer, from hip hop shows to folk music. Even if you don’t come for a performance, ...
Mülheim has something rather unusual for a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, and that is an intact old town. Just above Leineweberstraße is a cosy tangle of alleys traced by half-timbered houses, feeling more like a village than the centre of a city. Although it has changed a great deal over the centuries, the old town probably goes back to the 6th o...
On the Schleuseninsel (“Lock Island”) in the middle of the Ruhr is a museum about the Ruhr’s water ecosystem and renewable energy, complementing the Aquarius Wassermuseum and also set up in 1992. The building is the handsome sandstone former students’ boathouse. There are 32 stations inside where for instance you can look at the Ruhr’s water throug...
In the district of the same name, Kloster Saarn is a former Cistercian abbey that was founded at the start of the 13th century. The complex was in use for 600 years until secularisation by the French government in the early 1800s, and has architecture from every phase of its history. After becoming a Prussian rifle works in the 19th century the mon...
The Aquarius Wassermuseum is actually on the site of a Holy Roman lordship. This spot was the seat of the Counts of Limburg Styrum who controlled big swathes of Westphalia and the Lower Rhine at the height of their powers in the Middle Ages. Their castle gained its current Baroque design after a fire in 1738 and was bought as a residence by August ...
Out of 240 towers that were raised to commemorate the Chancellor and German unification figure Otto von Bismarck, 173 survive today.

After the war it was used as a broadcasting tower by the British army. L...
