Die Kapelle am Ensthof vor den Toren der Stadt Meschede. Von mir aus kann der Frühling jetzt kommen - wir brauchen Sonne, damit sich die Stimmung wenigstens etwas aufhellen kann.

This signal is located at the cycle path "Sauerland Radring - Nordschleife" near Berge, a village belonging to the town of Meschede in Germany. The cycle path is a former railway line, already closed in the 1960's. Therefor there are several railway remnants like this signal, railway traffic signs and so on. Because of the low gradient of the former railway line, this cycle path is very popular although it is located in a middle mountain area in Northrine-Westpahlia. This photo is black and white because of the time of origin of this railroad technical facility.

The Zollverein colliery is located in Essen-Stoppenberg. The mine was operated from 1851 to 1986 and was one of the most modern coal mines in the world at that time. Today, the colliery is a monument of industrial culture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The double winding tower is also called the "Eifel tower" of the Ruhr area. For photographers, the colliery and the coking plant located right next door offer many attractive photo motifs. It is possible to take part in guided tours of the facilities, during which the visitor can learn a lot about the operation of the colliery, the coking plant and the people who worked there. During the guided tour you will also get insights and perspectives that are withheld from the normal visitor.
