From 6 December 2025 to 6 January 2026, the Zollverein Foundation will once again be offering ice skating fun for the whole family. The ice rink stretches 150 metres along the imposing coke ovens and chimneys of the Zollverein coking plant. In the evening, an installation bathes it in atmospheric light and cosy stands offer refreshments with hot drinks and snacks. And as a special gimmick for all baking and cookie fans, the Zollverein Foundation will be handing out cookie cutters in the shape of a snowflake during the week until the start of the NRW winter vacations, but only while stocks last!
Curling as a group event
As a company event and sporting competition with friends, curling at Zollverein is a firm fixture in the annual calendar. Players should wear sturdy shoes. Access is via a separate staircase. A drinks stand is provided outside the curling area for the groups of players. Early registration is strongly recommended. Duration: 90 minutes
Ice time for everyone
Whether professional, advanced, novice or in a wheelchair: along the imposing coke ovens and chimneys of the Zollverein coking plant, all skating fans will get their money’s worth. The ice surface can be used with wheelchairs, rehab buggies and gliding aids. Auxiliary penguins are available to help children take their first steps on the slippery surface. During regular skating times, the coolest ice rink in the world is open to everyone – so people with disabilities, their families and friends can glide across the ice together with other skaters. During the first hour of each session, special consideration is given to each other on the ice surface.
