The Rammelsberg visitor mine was inscribed into the World Cultural Heritage list in 1992 as the first German building of its kind, along with the old town of Goslar. 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.
