Guided Story

Imagine standing at a spot that holds nearly a century of history within its brick walls. Behind you, you'll find the Bochum Art Museum, but right here, in front of you, stands a gem of expressionist architecture. Built in the 1920s, this was once a public toilet, notable for its artistic brick patterns and angular forms. It's easy to overlook such details amidst the city's bustle, yet they whisper the stories of the past. This site has outlasted previous wooden and cast iron structures and provides a quiet retreat in the city park. Let the tales embedded in these walls envelop you as you take in the atmosphere around you.
