Stay at the UNESCO World Heritage Site

Holiday Apartment at Zollverein Colliery

Zollverein Colliery is the landmark of the Ruhr region – a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the “most beautiful colliery in the world” and home to the Ruhr Museum and the Red Dot Design Museum. Our quiet holiday apartment in Essen-Katernberg sits right by the World Heritage grounds: stroll across the coking plant in the morning, relax with Netflix in the apartment at night.

With private parking at the door, a fully equipped kitchen and 24/7 self-check-in you are completely independent – and you book directly with your host, no platform fees.

There is more to experience around Zollverein than fits into one day: the Ruhr Museum in the former coal washery, guided tours of Shaft XII, the works swimming pool in summer, the ice rink in winter and the Zollverein cycle trails through the region. Getting there is easy: tram 107 (the “culture line”) takes you right to the grounds, by car you are in Essen city centre in about 15 minutes and at Messe Essen in about 20.

The apartment itself: cosily furnished, comfortable beds, smart TV with Netflix and a kitchen for your breakfast before the big photo tour. Also ideal for work crews on jobs in the north of Essen – parking included.
