We have some family that lives in Essen and it was my first visit there. We discovered Zollverein (the Management School of which these are photos of, as well as the entire heritage site) via the red dot Design Awards. We didn’t make any arrangements to see the inside, but were gladly happy to receive an impromptu tour!! The roof (similar to the Amsterdam OBA) is not to be missed.
