Experience industrial history up close

The history of Osnabrück unfolds from the farming town of the 18th century to the modern industrial and business location. A glass elevator leads 30 meters underground into a historic coal mine, where the Black Diamond's past becomes tangible. Above ground, the ascent via the geological staircase with 269 steps allows a magnificent view of the Osnabrück region. Working steam engines, impressive fossils and the magic of the coal forest complete the picture of a changing city that has preserved its industrial DNA.
