Very interesting spot of industrial history of Germany and Ruhr Area, The "Zeche Zollverein" in Essen. World heritage of UNESCO and anchor point of the so called "Route der Industriekultur"
...
Located along the river Ruhr, Essen was traditionally a significant coal and steel center, one of the largest in Germany. Essen has modernized, hosting a number of large German corporations and boasting a vibrant cultural offering at a number of venues, particularly the Aalto Theater, which is an architectural masterpiece and home to ballet and opera. Essen is also regarded to be a “city of shopping”, particularly since the opening of the Metropolis shopping mall.
