The extraction, processing and utilization of mineral geo-resources, subsumed here under the term ‘mining’, is a subject with great significance for the development of human civilization. The global importance of mining is increasing today, and will no doubt continue to do so in future. This is clear from the political campaigns and the intense media reactions associated with issues of raw material supplies and shortages, and also resource conservation (recycling and the use of renewable energy sources). The work of the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum, as the leading international museum on the mining industry, takes place within this socially relevant context. As one of the Leibniz Association’s research museums, the DBM is devoted to investigating the extraction, processing and utilization of mineral raw materials in the context of social, cultural, ecological and economic dynamics, spanning different historical periods. The museum shows the lasting impact which these processes have had on the development of society, and preserves relevant evidence for future generations. In short: The Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum is the cultural memory of the mining industry.
A must see when visiting the Ruhr Valley. Interesting and historically accurate. Not ideal for small children or people with walking disability.
Telekommunikation - nichts hat unsere Welt in der vergangenen Zeit so geprägt. Doch nichts gerät so schnell in Vergessenheit wie die Technik, die sie ermöglicht hat. Unser Verein Telekom-Historik Bochum e.V. möchte, dass die Entwicklung dieser faszinierenden Technologie in Erinnerung bleibt! Unter dem Motto: Vom Morseapparat zur Datentechnik der Gegenwart, von der Freileitung zum Glasfaserkabel, werden die Besucher auf eine Zeitreise durch die Geschichte der elektrischen Nachrichtenübermittlung geführt - nicht als staunende Betrachter lebloser Exponate sondern als Anwender. Sie werden aufgefordert, die Nähe zu den Exponaten zu suchen, Telefonverbindungen aufzubauen oder mit Fernschreibern Texte zu versenden.
