The entire Zollverein site is now an architectural world heritage site and industrial monument. Together with the immediately adjacent Zollverein Coal Mine, the former coking plant was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.
An absolute must during a tour of the north of Essen.

The western part of the World Heritage Site is home to a long row of coke ovens, tall chimneys and cooling towers. The Ruhr Museum's exhibition depot is located here. Concerts, ballet and theater performances and performances take place in the salt warehouse.
