The Boiler House was once the Zollverein’s “power house” — its central energy plant. Since 1997, it has been home to the Red Dot Design Museum. The transformation from heavy industry to the cultural industry can be experienced here first-hand.
Innovative design is presented against the backdrop of historic industrial architecture. With around 2,000 exhibits, the museum features the world’s largest exhibition of modern design.
The entire exhibition changes once a year. A striking contrast between old and new, between tradition and innovation.
