Ruhrtriennale in Bochum
While walking through the Jahrhunderthalle in Bochum, I came across the bleachers for the Ruhrtriennale Festival. The Ruhrtriennale is an annual music and arts festival in the Ruhr area. Its most famous venues are the Jahrhunderthalle, the Zeche Zollverein, and the Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord.

The Jahrhunderthalle is a venue for such famous events as the Ruhrtriennale. Interesting detail: The hall stands on top of an existing plant. After raising the soil to the level of the new building, the first plant became part of the basement.
