Had a Larry car operator get run by one of these as he was going on spell/break. Fell backwards over a traction rail and the operator that was operating the machine thought he was in the clear and started to travel in the machine. Poor guy got both his legs cutoff & died later..

WOW - to build this and have it all figured out, it´s awesome. Fine shot i like the green with the rusty red; man-made vs. Nature, very good-looking, indeed. You did well, Mr.M.

Wow- though I´ve been there so many times Zollverein never looked this impressive!!

Toot - the thing with this area is that it would be way to expensive to deconstruct those metal-monsters and, tragically, coking plants are no longer needed. It now is a park and all the constructs are -more or less- open for visitors. I think this is a good way to cope with such areas, not just closing them and letting them rot away but open them to the public. Zollverein is one of the most popular places at the Ruhr-Area!
