Skulpturenpark Zollverein, Sculpture garden at Zollverein industrial complex, Essen, Germany.
The expansive outdoor gallery displays contemporary sculptures across former mining grounds, incorporating industrial elements into artistic presentations.
The Skulpturenpark emerged after mining operations ceased, transforming the industrial site into an artistic venue with Ulrich Rückriem's Castell installation.
International artists contribute diverse works to the sculpture park, establishing connections between industrial heritage and modern artistic expression.
The sculpture garden offers guided tours in multiple languages, with designated pathways connecting different sections of the outdoor exhibition space.
Twenty-four massive granite blocks form the Castell installation, which prevented the location from becoming a landfill in the 1990s.
