      This is shaping up to be an excellent tour stop.

      Your town looks lovely, Aetas.

        Inspired @Aetas ! I love the info on the walls.  And-Hank III is unsuitable for young listeners… 😶

        Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
        Well, I have others.

                    Thank guys for your very much appreciated support.
                    If I only had much more time for the jacket.
                    But I do not complain. It is an enjoyable time!

                      The rest is the same procedure than yesterday morning.

                      When we came home, we had to face the truth that play-time was over.

                        Took the bicycle to get to work today.
                        The way by car is a mess with traffic lights, road works and traffic jam instead.

                        For ten kilometers I can ride on the "Rheinischen Esel".
                        It is a disused railway line, established 1880. The railway line was closed 1982 and reopened for public in 2000.
                        A mixture of cycling without obstacles and tranquility.

                        Back in civilization, the Tour jacket plays 'Hare and the Tortoise' with me …..  ;).

                                      The Ruhrgebiet area was driven for over more than hundred years by coal, steel and … beer.
                                      But it is all history. The last coalmines are closing, steel is only produced to a limited extent.
                                      Dortmund, once the biggest beer producer in Europe, is only a shadow of one's former self.
                                      But the  economic structural changes slowly taking effects.

                                      Coal
                                      I start with a Malakow winding tower build in 1873. This beaty has walls thick like a man, to hold all this mechanical forces in the age of steam power.

                                      Steel
                                      This bronze stature is one of the symbols of my town. Build in 1953, the steelworker with his open visor and leather Apron was standing for decades in the center of the town. Now replaced to a former industrial site Phönix -West.
                                      In the background is a rest of the blast furnace Phönix.


                                      There is a skywalk on the steam tubes.

                                      Reestablished brewery Bergmann nearby.

                                        That’s an interesting narrative. Coal gone - sad, steel gone - sad. But hey, we’ve still got beer! In fact it’s making a comeback.

                                        I was born and grew up in South Wales which was the great coal mining district of the UK and where I live now had a lot of metal mining going on in the mountains and fjords. It’s often beautiful how the old, abandoned industrial structures end up fitting in with the natural landscape.

                                        It’s a shame they moved the steelworker. I like him.
