Some of the city’s most beautiful buildings are Bochum City Hall, Altes Brauhaus Rietkötter (where fresh beer is brewed and served just like in olden times), and Friedrich Lueg Haus (The first high rise building in Bochum).

Being the cultural and traditional hub of the Ruhr region, Bochum houses a municipal theatre, the Schauspielhaus Bochum, and other smaller theatres and arenas. The musical Starlight Express, which opened in 1988, is the longest-running musical in Germany and one of the city’s main attractions.
