    "The factory swimming pool at Zollverein was created as part of the art project" Contemporary Art and Criticism "in 2001 and symbolizes the structural change in the Ruhrgebiet. The Frankfurt artists Dirk Paschke and Daniel Milohnic welded together for their project two overseas containers to a large pool. The work of art with a clear added value rests within a wooden frame, which at the same time also offers the lying surface. For years, a welcome change on the industrial site, which is often used by young and older visitors. Also, a lifeguard ensures in the factory swimming pool on Zeche Zollverein that visitors can bathe in a relaxed atmosphere. Another special feature is that in the walls of the two containers below the water surface holes were milled, so that the bathers and other visitors can look into the factory swimming pool on colliery Zollverein.
    The slightly different kind of outdoor pool amidst the rust and steel-colored industrial backdrop is an absolute excursion highlight in the Ruhr area. "

      Once, a swimming pool (made of containers) in an old coking plant.
      Of course this only works up during the summer months. If you do not want to go in, just walk around and look at the coking plant. That is also a great highlight.

        The factory swimming pool at Zeche Zollverein is always open during the summer holidays. Daily from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Entry is free. There is a lifeguard as the pool is only suitable for swimmers. There is nowhere to stand!!! There is also a dressing room under the wooden platform. Great atmosphere between the old coking plant.
