A steel monster rises up to the sky. The imposing double trestle of shaft 12, the winding tower of the Zollverein colliery, taken in summer in Essen in the iconic Ruhr area - Ruhrpott!
Zollverein colliery, also called the "Eiffel tower of the Ruhr area", was an active coal mine in Essen from 1851 to 1986. It was named after the German Zollverein, which was founded in 1834. Today it is an architectural and industrial monument. Together with the directly adjacent Zollverein coking plant, Shafts 12 and 1/2/8 of the colliery have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 2001. Zollverein is an anchor point of the European Route of Industrial Culture and the location of various cultural institutions as well as the Folkwang University of the Arts.
