Guided Story

You're standing at the Stanzwerk in Bochum's Sundern district. This place traces its roots back to the 18th century as the 'Winterscher Kotten,' originally a small agrarian operation. Over time, it evolved into a supplier for the steel industry, focusing on pipe flanges. In the 1980s, the business was closed, and the Schade family transformed the site into a cultural event venue. This is where Bochum's industrial past meets its cultural present.
