Nice old frame of a former cooling tower on Zollverein. Cultural monument. The whole area is a historical relic from a unique epoch of the Ruhr area determined by coal mining and processing and extraction. Zollverein is a unique opportunity to see a coking plant still in such good condition and even to experience it. You should have been there at least once.
