It is not only a major hub of the German economy, but also the largest service and administrative centre in the region.

  • PRESS RELEASE Tourism June 2018
    PRESS RELEASE tourism June 2018 The “most beautiful coal mine in the world”: the Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage Site Tourist development, products and highlights ESSEN. Hundreds of coal mines produced coal in the Ruhr area, but only one was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001. For good reason: the Zollverein Coal Mine is a masterpiece of mining architecture, created by the visionaries Fritz Schupp and Martin Kremmer. The symmetrical arrangement of buildings is still impressive today: The facilities, which were designed to the last detail, are a completely preserved synthesis of the arts. Until 1986, the coal mine had produced a total of 240 million tons of coal, up to 8,000 miners worked around the clock above and below ground. Today, the industrial monument is a lively cultural location with museums for industrial history and design, numerous recreational offers and events. The famous twin pithead frame impressively represents the change of a whole region. About 1.5 million guests from all over the world meanwhile visit the site every year (2011–2017) to experience the exceptional industrial architecture, participate in guided tours, visit exhibitions, celebrate festivals or relax in the Zollverein Park. Tourist highlights Denkmalpfad Zollverein : Daily guided tours of the Coal Mine and Coking Plant Denkmalpfad Zollverein (Monument Path Zollverein) vividly conveys industrial history. On guided tours through the originally preserved above-ground facilities, visitors experience what it meant to work at the once most efficient coal mine in the world and the largest coking plant in Europe. The participants follow the “Path of Coal” above ground, thereby gaining exciting insights into both the work and life of miners and coking plant workers.

  • “From Bone Valley to 'Far Places': a Global Environmental History of The
    Edward D. Melillo – Please do no cite or copy without author’s permission “From Bone Valley to ‘Far Places’: A Global Environmental History of the 1919 Phosphate Miners’ Strike in Mulberry, Florida” Edward Melillo, Amherst College Introduction In her 1942 autobiography, Dust Tracks on a Road, writer Zora Neale Hurston vividly depicted the miners of Polk County, Florida, their “sweating black bodies, muscled like gods…. They go down in the phosphate mines and bring up the wet dust of the bones of pre-historic monsters, to make rich land in far places, so that people can eat.”1 Hurston’s narrative suspended readers between the immediacy of sinew and bone and the remoteness of the “far places” that reconstituted their soils with fertilizer from Florida’s phosphorus-rich fossil deposits. Among the sites where Hurston gathered folklore for the Works Projects Administration (WPA) in the late 1930s was the town of Mulberry, thirty-two miles (52 km) east of Tampa in Polk County. This railroad outpost in Florida’s “Bone Valley” region—a zone where phosphate-laden skeletons accumulated millions of years ago when much of the area was beneath the ocean—has long been a place where the gritty labors of a southern community converged with the demands of distant environments.2 This article chronicles a 1919 strike during which 3,000 black and white miners from the International Union of Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers targeted seventeen of 1 Zora Neale Hurston, Dust Tracks on a Road: An Autobiography (1942; New York: HarperCollins, 2006), 147. 2 On May 6, 1935, United States President Franklin Delano Roosevelt created the WPA by Executive Order #7034.

Edition 6/2012 – for internal use only – Coal.Global Fossil coal is one of the world’s oldest sources of energy. Although it was formed millions of years ago, it is only 180 years since the exploitation for industrial purposes began. And it is still a fuel with a future. A scenario pub- lished by the International Energy Agency (IEA) foresees that, up to 2035, fos- sil fuel – oil, coal, and natural gas – will make up the lion’s share (74%) of global energy consumption. Electricity production alone will amount to 55%. And global reserves of coal are much larger than those of oil and natural gas. Fossil coal seems to be available in such rich amounts that there are still no agreed international standards by which reserves and resources can be calcu- lated. Nevertheless, regarding the geological timesscale the solar power transformed by plants into biomass over millions of years will be exhausted within a few generations and the landscape of mining areas will be altered in geological dimensions. The exploitation of coal reserves all over the world entails the creation of global markets and streams of raw coal.
