RE: UNESCO World Heritage Site: Zollverein Coal Mining Industrial Complex: #01 - Shaft 1/2/8
What an interesting place to visit and photograph! I must confess— such an industrial landscape is definitely the opposite of what comes to mind when I think of UNESCO sites.
Hehe, yes it is a bit strange for UNESCO, but one one hand the whole coal, coking and steel industry revolutionised the whole modern world. Still today prople are hard to convince to let go from drilling the earth for various reasons and steal became essential for all life purposes in various forms and grades of complexity .. the complex, you still have not seen the rest of it, was the biggest one ^^
