    The Zollverein colliery, also known as the "Eiffel Tower of the Ruhr area", was a hard coal mine in Essen that was active from 1851 to 1986. It was named after the German Customs Union founded in 1834. Today it is an architectural and industrial monument. Together with the immediately adjacent Zollverein coking plant, shafts 12 and 1/2/8 of the colliery have been part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 2001. Zollverein is the anchor point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage and the location of various cultural institutions as well as the Folkwang University of the Arts.
