Gerther Mühlenbach
A Hidden Gem in Bochum's Gerthe District
Did you know?
The Chemical Works Lothringen were once located here.
Guided Story
As you follow the gentle flow of the Gerther Mühlenbach, you'll notice how it feeds the serene Gerther Mühlenteich. This tranquil stream originates here in the Gerthe district and makes its way through the historical grounds of the former Lothringen coal mine. Look around, and you'll see streets like Gewerkenstraße, Dieselstraße, and Daimlerstraße, echoing the area's industrial past. This blend of nature and industrial history gives the stream its unique charm. South of Bövinghauser Hellweg, it continues eastward, flowing past industrial areas once home to the Lothringen chemical works and a large coking plant. It's a place where you can feel the tranquility of nature alongside the echoes of industrial history.
