Zollverein-Eisbahn

In the organizer's words:

It doesn't get any cooler than this: from 6 December 2025 to 6 January 2026, the 150-metre-long Zollverein ice rink will once again transform the coking plant into a winter paradise for all ice skating fans.

For many, a visit to the Zollverein ice rink is now a fixed item in their leisure plans for the winter season: it is not without reason that the spectacular ice rink alongside the imposing coke ovens and chimneys of the Zollverein coking plant is probably one of the most fascinating ice skating opportunities in Germany. It is particularly impressive in the evening when the light installation by Mark Major and Jonathan Speirs bathes the already impressive industrial backdrop in atmospheric light.

Another highlight is the ice disco on the Zollverein ice rink on December 13, 2025 and January 3, 2026, because what could be better than skating laps to cool disco sounds deep into the night under a starry sky? Those who prefer a more sporty approach will get their money's worth with curling: an additional area is available for this popular group event right next to the Zollverein ice rink. More information will be available shortly.

Ice time for everyone

Whether professional, advanced, novice or in a wheelchair: along the imposing coke ovens and chimneys of the Zollverein coking plant, all skating fans will get their money's worth. The ice surface can be used with wheelchairs, rehab buggies and gliding aids. Auxiliary penguins are available for children to help them take their first steps on the smooth surface. During regular skating times, the coolest ice rink in the world is open to everyone - so people with disabilities, their families and friends can glide across the ice together with other skaters. During the first hour of each session, special consideration is given to each other on the ice surface.
