RE: Zeche Zollverein- The “Eiffel Tower of the Ruhr area” with an ice rink and a factory swimming pool

in Worldmappin3 years ago

The place is just full of history, it's hard to believe that almost 600,000 workers worked there. The Ruhr area definitely has its charm, I have to agree with you. The Zeche Zollverein is a flagship of Essen, I've been there quite often.

Yes it really is, I even have a book about it, it's just exciting. I always try to imagine what it must have been like underground back then.
