UNESCO-WELTERBE ZOLLVEREIN | KOKEREI | ESSEN
In the location's words:
The Zollverein colliery closed on December 23, 1986, the last of a total of around 290 collieries in Essen, once the largest mining town in Europe. Shortly before its closure, the first parts of Shaft XII had already been placed under a preservation order. In 2001, in addition to Shaft XII, the coking plant and the founder shaft 1/2/8 were also designated as industrial monuments, and in the same year UNESCO officially added the Zollverein colliery and coking plant to its World Heritage List as the "Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex". The production facilities exemplify the social, economic, aesthetic and industrial history of the coal and steel age.
Coke production, art, culture: the unique Zollverein coking plant offers fascinating indoor and outdoor events at any time of year amidst its unique industrial-historical backdrop. As part of the Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage Site, it preserves the industrial heritage of the Ruhr region and brings it to life, just like the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex.
