Ringlokschuppen Mülheim, Cultural center in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany
The Ringlokschuppen is a cultural center in Mulheim an der Ruhr with four performance stages set within a distinctive steel framework. Located in the MuGa Park, the venue uses its industrial structure as the backdrop for contemporary arts events.
The building was constructed in 1875 as a railway depot for locomotive maintenance, and its protected steel framework was preserved during conversion to cultural use. This industrial past remains visible in the structure today.
The venue hosts theater, dance, concerts, and exhibitions featuring both local and international artists who perform in these flexible spaces. This mix of art forms creates a varied cultural calendar throughout the year.
The center is located within the MuGa Park and is easily accessible from multiple entrances, with bike parking and car parking available nearby. Events run throughout the year on a regular schedule, so checking ahead for shows you want to see is recommended.
The original locomotive turntable from the railway depot now functions as an open-air stage for outdoor performances. This unexpected feature directly connects the building's railway past to contemporary artistic presentations.
