Arrival by Bicycle

If you are arriving by bicycle, you can find racks to park your bike in the following locations:

  • To the far right of the foyer in front of the building.
  • On the right side of the building (when facing the front).
  • In the parking lot behind the building, against the building wall.

Attention: industrial and construction traffic. Only partial bike lanes available!

Please be careful when cycling around the O-Werk! The traffic circle at Opelring is not entirely safe for people riding bicycles. Unfortunately, the markings of the bicycle lanes in the vicinity of the O-Werk are worn away again by the many truck traffic. The logistics center and numerous construction sites on Mark 51°7 result in a significant amount of delivery, industrial, and construction traffic, which can make cycling in the area challenging. Please plan your route accordingly and exercise caution.

Arrival by Car

The RUB Makerspace is easily accessible for drivers, as it is located near major highways such as the A40, A43, and A44. From the A448, take the exit "Bochum-Altenbochum" to reach the Makerspace.

There are plenty of parking spaces available behind the building. While there are some parking spaces for guests in front of the building, these spaces are often occupied and some are reserved for the daycare center next door. We kindly ask that you park behind the building to ensure that there is sufficient parking for all visitors.
