"Situation Kunst" - Bochum
"Situation Kunst"

The exhibition "situation art for Max Imdahl " belongs to the collection of modern art of the Ruhr university of Bochum. It is dedicated to Max Imdahl who was in 1988 the first professor for art history at the Ruhr university of Bochum. From 1965 up to his death he was seen as a pioneer of an art history of the modern age. This long-term exhibit is unique in the Ruhr area. Especially the combination of compact pictures and building-filling pieces of art makes a visit worthwhile.

Castle park at House Weitmar - Bochum
Castle park at House Weitmar

Serveral ancient trees in the castle park of House Weitmar are remained from the air attack in 1943. This physical monuments with weird tops of a tree and trunks invite to a contemplative walk in the park. From the old castle ruin your walk can be continued to a marked footpath. Above a country lane the way follows along an old coal road route to the railway station Dahlhausen or to the former Dahlhauser public swimming bath at the river into in the nice Ruhr valley.

Sylvesterchapel - Bochum
Sylvesterchapel

Near the castle ruin the rests of the Sylvesterchapel are to be seen. The precise age of the chapel is not known; as a document of 1397 testifies, it has already existed in this time, nevertheless.

House Weitmar - Bochum
House Weitmar

The castle ruin of House Weitmar was a fiefdom around the turn of the century. Originally it concerned a farm, the Schultenhof in Weitmar. This court is mentioned already in the 11th century. Together with the Weitmarer wood it belonged to the "Abtei Werden" (in Essen) and it was given away as a estate to nobility families. The families lived at first not even on the court, but let a farmer manage the court. In the second half of the 15th century House Weitmar became a knight's castle.

With an air attack on the 13th May, 1943 the House Weitmar was ruined. Up to the perimeter walls the old castle and the chapel - and with it also irreplaceable cultural and material values - were destroyed.
