Standing only 250m away from where I lived back then, the shaft tower of the Teutoburgia coal mine was a part of my childhood. When I was in the area recently, I decided to stop by and pay a visit. Of course, I also took some photos.
In this post I share six photographs I took on a recent trip to the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, an art installation situated in Oberhausen, Germany. It was created by the Inges Idee, a German artist collective from Berlin. It was their submission to the international art exhibition Emscherkunst in 2013. The installation is based on the structure of a traditional power pylon but with curved parts resulting in the look of a dancing power pylon. It goes without saying that the Sorcerer’s Apprentice (or the Dancing Pylon as many people call it) has become a landmark of the Ruhr Valley in no time.
Yesterday, the last active coal mine Germany stopped all mining activity. The pitmen brought up the last piece of coal ever to be dug in Germany. It is only fitting and appropriate that this happened in the Ruhr Valley, the heart of German coal mining industry. This is a collection of photographs of the shaft towers here in the Ruhr Valley in Germany. With a nod of respect for the pitmen and all that they have done in the last centuries post this image here. “Glück auf!”, as the pitmen say in Germany.
