Haus Ripshorst, Nature information center in Oberhausen, Germany

The Haus Ripshorst building stands within a woodland garden, providing educational resources about the Emscher Landscape Park's 450 square kilometer area.

The center emerged from the transformation of industrial lands between Duisburg and Hamm, marking the evolution of the Ruhr region from mining to nature preservation.

The center presents exhibitions about regional development through multimedia displays, focusing on 15 important locations within the Emscher Landscape Park network.

Visitors can access Haus Ripshorst Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 to 16:00, while weekends and holidays include a lunch break between 13:00 and 13:30.

Next to the building stands the Zauberlehrling, a 35-meter sculpture shaped like a curved electricity pylon, created by Berlin artists to represent human form.
