Despite first impressions to the contrary, the industrial revolution of the 19th century has left its mark on Bielefeld. Former factories define whole inner-city districts, like the imposing complex of the Ravensberg Spinning Mill, for a long time one of the largest flax spinning mills in Europe, and the former Dürkopp engineering works, a factory of 70,000 square meters. These witnesses to industrial and social history are worth a visit, now also presenting award-winning and well-run concepts of new uses. Such listed industrial buildings and many others can be visited on this two hour guided walk.
