LWL-Industriemuseum Zeche Zollern

If visitors never figured a colliery could be superb, hold up until the point that they see Zeche Zollern, which has tasteful Art Nouveau parts from the turn of the twentieth century.

The Berlin Jugendstil design Bruno Möhring arranged the central machine building, fronted by a recolored glass window with blue and green sheets.

The colliery closes down in 1969 and since 1981 has been the home office for the LWL Industrial Museum, which has eight regions around Westphalia and Lippe.

The show at Zeche Zollern goes into the social and social history of the Ruhr present-day district, while the enveloping structures have been restored and opened up: The machine anteroom's 100-year-old transports, converters, and compressors are an inspiring relic of the steam age.
