that three German industrial monuments are already listed as UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites?

Today a glockenspiel, a gift from the old Preussag AG company standing on the marketplace in Goslar, reminds contemporary visitors of the long mining tradition in the town. Rammelsberg was followed in 1994 by the Völklinger Ironworks, and in 2001 by the Zollverein mining complex and coking plant in Essen. All three industrial monuments are anchor points along the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
