ERIH - YOUR GUIDE TO EUROPE'S INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE

ERIH IN BRIEF

ERIH, the European Route of Industrial Heritage, is the tourism information network of industrial heritage in Europe. The network is managed by the ERIH association, which has around 350 members in 27 countries. Over 100 member sites are Anchor Points, sites of exceptional historical significance in terms of industrial heritage which also offer a high quality visitor experience. Regional Routes take a closer look at the industrial history of landscapes that have been particularly affected by industrialisation. In total, we present on our website more than 2,200 sites of interest from all European countries. All sites are assigned to one or more of the 16 European Theme Routes, representing branches of industry and illustrating the diversity and - together with more than 270 biographies - the interconnectedness of European industrial history and its common roots. The site presentations are complemented by articles on the industrial history of the countries of Europe and the development of the industries that make up the theme routes. ERIH is certified as a "Cultural Route of the Council of Europe”
