Winding Gear of Shaft XII ...

At the UNESCO Heritage site Zollverein at Essen in the German Ruhr.

 

The site comprises a former coal mine, coal washer and coking ovens.

 

My set of photos is here.

 

The closure of this huge facility must have seemed like the end of the world for the surrounding community.
