'Bochum Jahrhunderthalle' is part of a large former industrial area from the period of coal mining factories and steel companies in our region. The area has been recultivated as a nearby city park some years ago.

The hall itself was built in 1902 for an exhibition and then was used for industrial production. In 2003 the hall was completely renovated and nowadays is the place for various events, like theater or classic music performances for example.
