Happy Birthday, Industrial Heritage Route!
IndustrieFilm Ruhr congratulates on its 25th birthday with a film special

On Monday, September 23rd, 2024, there will be a special event by “INDUSTRIEFILM RUHR” to mark the 25th anniversary of the Industrial Culture Route!

The IndustrieFilm Ruhr is a trademark far beyond the borders of the region for a technically sound presentation of historical industrial films that are rarely seen by a wider audience. IndustrieFilm Ruhr can now look back on 26 successful years - with 14 events and over 180 films presented so far. A record that is unprecedented nationwide.

At the INDUSTRIEFILM SPEZIAL, the topic of industrial film will take place at one of the most beautiful anchor points on the Industrial Culture Route. In the special ambience of Essen's Villa Hügel, rarely seen film material from the Krupp Historical Archive and from the holdings of the thyssenkrupp Corporate Archives will be presented against the historical backdrop on September 23, 2024.
