Pumpenhaus ("pump house")

The pump house at the Jahrhunderthalle is the perfect end to summer walks.

The purpose of the pump house was to provide the Bochumer Verein steelworks with cooling water. Many years after its closure, it was transformed into an artist’s canteen and food service trade. Today, you can enjoy fresh, local and seasonal lunches as well as coffee and cake. In summer, you can sit outside and enjoy the view of the Jahrhunderthalle and the WasserWelten water parks. You can always go for a stroll through the Westpark or go on a bike ride on the mining railway line before or after your visit.
