They are still re-opening/re-arranging areas of the old mines for the people. You can get on the terrain without paying a fee and just walk around. There is also a cycling path. I would suggest to visit the museum. The very long escalator is a highlight itself. There is plenty to see. You can have a drink afterwards at the cafe. Plenty of parkingspaces. The area is also good accessable by train. Everywhere in Essen you see pictures of the Zollverein. Happy I finally got to meet it, in real life????.

People began chipping out the first lumps of “black gold” from the hillsides of the Ruhrgebiet around 300 years ago. The Nightingale Colliery will take you back to the time when miners could walk straight inside the galleries to get at the coal; and later sunk the first shafts below ground. Equipped with a helmet and pit lamp visitors can take a walk down the narrow gangway of our mining gallery to a genuine coal streak and experience the unique atmosphere of early mining. One of the oldest hauling engines in the region can be seen in operation in the engine house.

The Altenberg zinc factory is expected to be closed until 2023 due to reconstruction measures. A new permanent exhibition is planned. It will relate more strongly to the zinc factory than before. The life and work of the people in the region will take center stage. The curators want to pursue the question of how industry and its development has influenced the people. Current changes and the question of the future of work will also be examined. As the site of the LVR Industrial Museum, the Rheinisches Landesmuseum fur Industrie- und Sozialgeschichte, these areas will naturally continue to be the focus of attention.
