Staying in Essen
Essen's defining sight sits north of the centre: the Zollverein Coal Mine, once the largest coal mine in the world, closed in 1986 and now a UNESCO World Heritage industrial complex with the Ruhr Museum housed in its old coal-washing plant. The city was the industrial engine of the Ruhr valley for over a century, and that heritage still shapes its architecture and identity.
Central Essen itself is unglamorous, heavily rebuilt after wartime bombing and functional rather than charming, so Zollverein is the reason to come rather than the old town. Villa Hugel, the Krupp family's vast mansion, adds another layer of industrial-dynasty history nearby. Stay near Essen Hauptbahnhof for the tram out to Zollverein and easy trains around the Ruhr.
