Shopping at Zollverein

Beautiful things in a fascinating ambience

Shopping with inspiration

Zollverein is not a shopping centre – but strolling through the well-limited selection of shops is an unusual pleasure. The combination of monumental industrial architecture and imaginatively arranged product ranges will make your visit a very unexpected experience and provide many interesting stimuli.

Beautiful books, exciting jewellery ideas, creative design objects and furniture, wonderfully fragrant soaps – here you can find what you are looking for, get inspired, gain many new ideas and insights. Shopping in a completely different way!

Grubenhelden

T-shirts, hoodies, shirts and accessories

The young "Grubenhelden" fashion label produces T-shirts, hoodies, shirts, and accessories enriched with Ruhr Area history.

Part of an original miner’s shirt that was actually worn by a miner is incorporated in each piece of clothing. So, each piece of the collection is unique – designed in the coal district and manufactured in Europe. Following the opening of an online shop in March 2016 and a first store in Gladbeck a few months later, the „Grubenhelden“ are now also represented at Zollverein with their second store in Hall 12 since September 2018.

Margaretenhöhe Ceramic Workshop

More information

Young-Jae Lee

Shortly after the decommissioning of the Zollverein Coal Mine, ceramist Young-Jae Lee and her team were the first artists to establish a studio at the Zollverein World Heritage Site in 1987.

Back in 1933, the “Keramische Werkstatt Margaretenhöhe” (Margaretenhöhe Ceramic Workshop) already moved from the Margarethenhöhe Estate to the Zollverein Shaft Facilities 6/9. About 50 years later, this was followed by the move to the former Building Materials Stores at Shaft 1/2/8. Lee, who was born in Korea, has directed the workshop since.

The delicate jugs, bowls, or pots, which are created by hand at Zollverein, follow a clear, timeless, and unmistakable design vocabulary. Individual items by the internationally acknowledged and repeatedly awarded master ceramist are coveted among collectors from all over the world.

Opening hours
Mon-Fri, 9 a.m.–5 p.m., Sat, 11 a.m.– 3 p.m., and by appointment

Admission
free

Location
