At Feuer.Wehrk, expect a night brimming with stories of courage, commitment, and history, all set under the backdrop of historical vehicles, old uniforms, and industrial outdoor areas. Regular express tours will offer insights into the world of firefighting, with the option for curious visitors to explore on their own. Live acts on the forecourt will provide the perfect musical accompaniment, while the blue light storm's rhythmic colors and light-music fusion will give the night a mesmerizing touch.
The LWL Museum will focus on forging, casting, heating, and defending the significance of fire and iron in the region. The special exhibition "The Beauty of Steel" showcases steelworks' international aesthetics through the lens of photographer Viktor Mácha. The event will also feature the extraordinary "Die Hütte ist weiblich," an exhibition that explores the influential roles women played in the steelworks and industrial life.
A Night to Remember!
Whimsical walk acts, such as the Stilt King Thyriorn, will transport visitors to another world. For the sound, In Between provides rock and pop, Emma Stappenbeck offers entrancing piano renditions, and the two collaborate for enchanting jazz performances. As the night deepens, the spectacle grows larger, with the fire show "Foiah!" being one of the evening's high points.
