2.2.8. Coal Mines in the Ruhr Area (Zechen an der Ruhr)
The Ruhr area used to be one of the world's largest collection of industrial
buildings. Hundreds of mines with beautiful headgears crowded the area.
Although many of the old pits were already disused when I visited the
Ruhr area in 1990/91, I could still find quite a few of them.
Don't expect to find 'artistic' or near 'perfect' pictures in this
section. The intention is to show the beauty and the variety of
an industrial building, which once was a synonym for coal, for
energy and for wealth. (NOTE: more images will be added soon.)
