Big sign

Dortmund U-Tower, November 2011

The Dortmunder U, on my way to work, through the window from my train (S-Bahn). It's an impressiv building with a big video installation. In Dortmund nothing really is unique, exapt the U. Some more posts with the U here.


From Wikipedia: The Dortmund U-Tower is a brewery building in the city of Dortmund, Germany. It was the first skyscraper of Dortmund, built in 1926-1927. The high-rise Union Brewery used this building for the fermentation and storage of their products. In 1994 the brewery and all its surrounding buildings were closed and demolished, only the Dortmund U-Tower was spared due to having landmark status. In January 2008 the Dortmund U-Tower was decided to be redeveloped as a flagship project for the "Ruhr 2010 - Cultural Capital of Europe".

The Sun Wheel

The Sun Wheel at Zollverein, Essen, September 2007


World Heritage Zeche Zollverein, information from this site:
The round tour with a difference. The Sun Wheel on the Coking Plant offers you fantastic views and unusual insights into the inner workings of the World Cultural Heritage Site.

Since 1999 the Sun Wheel revolves with its 14 gondolas at the Coking Plant. The visitors are experiencing an exciting journey of contrasts: It goes deep inside the decommissioned coke oven 9 and then high up into the sky above Zollverein - rare insights and overviews included.
