Herten photography tour to visit Zeche Ewald and Halde Hoheward
The Regionalverband Ruhr (RVR) and the Fotoakademie Niederrhein are organizing a photography tour focused on industrial architecture. The event, themed ‘Industrial Architecture in Focus – Structures, Steel and Symmetries’, invites participants to experiment with light, perspective, and composition.
A scheduled walk on August 22 will visit Zeche Ewald and Halde Hoheward in Herten. Led by photography coach Dirk Böttger, the tour offers access to restricted areas such as the Schwarzkaue and the heating plant. The excursion also includes the Horizontobservatorium on Halde Hoheward, which may be one of the final opportunities to photograph the site in its current state before construction begins in the autumn.
The event is open to both beginners and experienced photographers using cameras or smartphones. Participation is limited to 15 people and costs 25 euros, including entry fees.
