Zollverein colliery, Essen<br />
Today a symbol of the city of Essen,<br />
Bauhaus-style Shaft 12 built by<br />
HOCHTIEF as part of the Zollverein<br />
Coal Mine Industrial Complex began<br />
operating in 1932. At the time, the<br />
Zollverein colliery was considered the<br />
most attractive coal mine in the world.<br />
In 2002, it was made a UNESCO World<br />
Heritage Site. Today, the site measuring<br />
a total of 660,000 square meters<br />
features 30 buildings and the coking<br />
plant. Miners extracted the last of the<br />
coal here in 1986. Today, the facility<br />
is a vital part of industrial culture in<br />
Germany’s Ruhr region and in 2010<br />
will primarily be used to stage European<br />
Capital of Culture events. At the<br />
end of 2009, our subsidiary HOCHTIEF<br />
Facility Management received the<br />
contract for technical, commercial<br />
and infrastructural building management<br />
of the heritage-protected colliery.<br />
Yet another example of life cycle<br />
management by HOCHTIEF—even<br />
though in this case the contracts<br />
were several decades apart.
