    The Zollverein Coal Mine, also called 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 neighboring Zollverein coking plant, shafts 12 and 1/2/8 of the mine have been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2001. Zollverein is the 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.

      A super place to explore. It takes hours to see everything. I'm so impressed with this place that I've been there several times.
