19th June 2010. extra layer. The night of industrial culture. 2010, the long night of industrial culture its tenth anniversary. Since food is a cultural capital still is this year's particularly bold. For just 10 € per nose you have access to 200 events at 50 different venues and all night free travel on public transport. If this is not the ideal birthday gift for my husband!
We choose the hub D3, food and environment. Although we could theoretically run all night for free bus or relatives go to the cookie, I prefer to reserve a room at the hotel in Essen-Petul Stoppenberg. It brings us in the basement of a branch under, with a beautiful View of the curb and swivel TVs. When we arrive, running on the box just Australia against Ghana. A top match of the World Cup in South Africa. Do we really need to get away? It's nice here.
fights Half an hour later, the usually enthusiastic culture-husband is still with motivation problems. Just the mention of the nonexistent minibar then drives him still on the road.
We seek and find a bus stop. As newcomers to public transport, we succeed only in the third attempt to read the schedule correctly. Under the Plexiglas roof, we seek shelter from a heavy drizzle to stand shoulder to shoulder with a couple of season tickets holders that keep us completly stupid.
Our goal is the main railway station. From there, launch the shuttle buses. The improvised parking prohibition signs is obviously not everyone taken seriously.
shortened the lively bustle of the towing us the wait. Behind the yellow bus, which is ours.
Miraculously, we get hold of the whole evening, only seats. Even if it does not look like here.
This bit long in the years backpackers all want to Baldeneysee. Just like us. The white fleet is approaching bringing us close to the islands of the Ruhr Atoll. Art, science, energy. How rhymes together?
's investors are at times only the extra layer ribbon for the wrist. Without an assistant's not around and you get no scissors no longer. Bratwurst and blues wanking We will leave for later. In the background is approaching the ship. The Chief Stewart beckons us on board. Cast off on the MS Steele!
Essen-Werden, shortly after 18:00 clock. The hair is still there. No wonder, felt at a wind speed of 0.5. We remain course over the deck. We are not grandma. The motor ship takes on his frantic ride. There! An island! Speaker tells us about a lady, what we see. We sit in the back, where we understand nothing.
The Ruhr Atoll consists of four islands anchored in the lake. Here we see a U-boat (black) and three pedal boats (white). Art is just the U-boat. It is titled
"I can because I want what I have." From the outside, a weapon of war from the inside as a chapel with stained glass windows of hundreds of CNN news pictures. I would have liked to see again. Clean but only the people who were smart enough to book a pedal boat.
"Frog and tea master - a dialogue"
case you're wondering what the two talk to - not about the Treetbot. It is rather the basic human needs: solid ground under their feet, a roof over your head, water, food.
But what about the needs of the frog?
This funny pedalò family has just boarded art section 3.
Iceberg kidnapped in the optical and acoustic data abundance of a South Pole research station. All times
waving!
away And now quickly, before The Titanic is coming!
This pile of junk is not the abode of Robinson Crusoe, but Ruhr Atoll number 4 "Project for the conservation of natural resources".
A creaking, rattling monster pumps water from the lake from here to there. Since the trust ran Treetbootfahrer not well.
Installation Ruhr-atolls is open daily from 10 -22 Clock and highly recommended. There is a flyer, which you can read all the important information. The impression that we would have still carved on the spot in the bin deceptive.
The return trip was shady. The sky was brewing along quite something. Claus Stauder in the bottle which had brewed.
A sea journey makes you hungry, no matter whether North Sea, Baltic Sea or Baldeneysee. Here we strengthen ourselves with the national dish of all Ruhris.
"Gehsse held city, indeed watt makes you as sick ne Currywurst ..."
pity that Herbert Grönemeyer for personal reasons only hymns composed.
And on we go to the second stop of the evening, the DB Regio-works at the Schederhofstrasse. This stretches the new super-train type ET 422, the locomotive BR 146 Double-deck cars and trains ET 423 and 425 visit. For railway enthusiasts the bright madness! That we are not, we fall back on only when we arrive.
The main attraction will take place only every 40 minutes. A thrilling train ride through the car wash. At the last minute we jump on yet. Then the disappointment. For reasons of economy today is washed without soap. We know from home.
long time nothing happens. Then finally a jet of water splashing against the glass. A brush passes. Maybe it comes back once more. Maybe not. A Train ride through the car wash is about as spectacular as bus travel in the rain. The lady next to me can no longer avert his eyes.
seats you can. A toast to the hospitality!
Nix as to the next station. Zeche Carl reloaded.
is now engulfed the darkness above us. Taking pictures with the phone is any more. Therefore there are no pictures of the cute female students, which led us to the land and to tell interesting stories knew from a time when Carl do not landmarked, socio-cultural center, but Mine was a perfectly ordinary.
I have taken only the three boys from the English-speaking country, which had once quickly bought at C & A all the same suit and with her hot performance after all, attracted an enthusiastic audience in its spell.
And of course the beer stand. Care has to be hell, not one that the whole culture from drying out.
Finally, an artistically valuable picture, I think. I call it "Zeche Carl in pink umbrella.
On the way back to the hotel we are at the Zeche Zollverein again just jumped off the bus. Since the main program, however, was already gone. You could just go straight up the escalator into the blast furnace. Nonsense. The Ruhr Museum.
How it looks from above. For a visit to a museum full we did not at that early hour, however, the nerves. We still have a few listless rumgedrückt touch screens, none of which worked, and are then shut down again. Was also getting late.
That was the extra layer 2010th Surprise! Next year maybe Duisburg.
