Bochum is a city in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, situated in the Ruhr region, one of Europe's largest urban areas. The city's history is deeply intertwined with Germany's industrial heritage, particularly coal mining and steel production, which shaped its development from the 19th century onwards.

Following the decline of heavy industry, Bochum has successfully transformed itself into a center of education, technology, and culture. The city is home to Ruhr University Bochum, one of Germany's largest universities, established in 1962.

Bochum's cultural landscape includes significant institutions such as the German Mining Museum, one of the most visited museums in Germany, and the Schauspielhaus Bochum, a renowned theater with a long tradition of innovative productions. The city also maintains several art galleries and exhibition spaces that showcase both its industrial heritage and contemporary cultural developments.
