The Zollverein World Cultural Heritage Site – formerly known as the "most beautiful coal mine in the world" – and now the best-known industrial monument and centre of the creative economy in the Ruhr Area.
100 hectares of land in the north of Essen, Shaft XII, Shaft 1/2/8 and the Zollverein coking plant. In 1847 the first shaft was sunk, and in 1986 the last coal was brought to the surface. In 1993 the coking plant was closed down, and in 2000 the buildings and equipment were officially listed. In 2001 Zollverein was inscribed into the list of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites. Our watchword is: preservation through new usage.
Zeer fraai foto gebied. Helaas is de toegang tot de meeste gebouwen niet toe gestaan.
