Overview

On this captivating tour, you will follow the invisible lines of class, capital, and chemistry that shaped Germany's most important centre for leather production. From the opulent, high-rise villas of the leather barons to the modern streets where foul-smelling tanneries once stood, to the banks of the heavily exploited Ruhr, you discover how industry has shaped the architecture, environment, and soul of the city. Experience the hidden costs of luxury and the modern efforts to reclaim an industrial past.
