About coal, money and goals

Football is all about money? In the Ruhr region, everything revolves around coal? Both right - says Theo Grütter, Director of the Ruhr Museum. Born in Gelsenkirchen, he takes you on a tour to get to the bottom of the coal phenomenon. How were successful business, successful football and therefore well-paid professionals connected in the past - and of course still today? This audio tour itself is all about this and his very own path to the stadium.
