Flottmann-Hallen, Cultural center and architectural monument in Herne, Germany.
Flottmann-Hallen is a cultural center housed in the buildings of a former machinery factory from 1908. The site features exhibition spaces, performance venues, and a sculpture park set within industrial architecture.
The complex was built around 1908 as a factory for mining machinery and drilling equipment, continuing production for decades. After 1983 the factory closed and was gradually converted into a cultural and art venue.
The name recalls the founder and honors the craftspeople who built machinery here. Visitors can see traces of this heritage woven into different corners of the site, where the industrial past still shapes how the space is used today.
The site is found along Straße des Bohrhammers and is easy to explore on foot since everything is distributed across a connected area. Visitors should allow enough time to walk through the buildings, exhibitions, and park at a comfortable pace.
The outdoor grounds display a collection of artworks and preserve an art nouveau wrought iron gate from the original factory era. These details create an interesting contrast between the industrial past and the current arts setting.
