Bermudadreieck

Bermudadreieck, Bar district in Bochum, Germany

Bermudadreieck is a bar and restaurant district in central Bochum encompassing more than 80 establishments across two square kilometers. The area sits between Südring and Konrad-Adenauer-Platz and caters to diverse dining and entertainment preferences.

Until the late 1970s the square around the Engelbert Fountain held only the Intimes, Union and Capitol cinemas, the Victory Pub and a pub-restaurant. A sharp rise in bar density in the late 1980s created the going-out quarter; the name Bermuda Triangle first appeared in 1988 in an article by Werner Schmitz about Leonardo Bauer, its "father".

The name refers to the four streets bounding the area — Südring, Brüderstraße, Kortumstraße and Viktoriastraße — and was first used in 1988 in an article in the magazine MARABO, in which reporter Werner Schmitz called restaurateur Leonardo Bauer "Käpt'n im Bermudadreieck". Each 30 April the season opens with "Stühle raus", and in early July the four-day street music festival Bochum Total takes over the quarter.

The district lies between Südring and Konrad-Adenauer-Platz, with the U-Bahn station Bermuda3eck/Musikforum (lines 308 and 318) inside it; the station was called Engelbertbrunnen/Bermudadreieck until June 2015. The 2008–2009 redevelopment of the upper Kortumstraße removed all public seating, so the only chairs belong to the restaurants. Visitors not eating out will find no bench to rest on.

The Engelbert Fountain that gave the square its name was removed in spring 2009 during the redevelopment of the upper Kortumstraße; its knight figure was moved to a spot opposite the Brüderstraße junction and relocated to the Propsteikirche in 2020. The new tree plantings and lighting along the building lines created large open areas for outdoor seating, while all seating for visitors not using the restaurants was removed.
