Photographer’s Note

From Wikipedia:

The Völklinger Hütte ("Völklingen Ironworks") was founded more than hundred years ago. The presentation of the production of hot metal is unique.

In 1994, it was declared by UNESCO as the first industrial World Heritage site. It is also part of the European Route of Industrial Heritage (ERIH), a network of the most important Industrial Heritage sites in Europe.

The aim of ERIH is to create interest for the common European Heritage of the Industrialization and its remains. It also wants to promote regions, towns and sites showing the industrial history and market them as visitor attractions in the leisure and tourism industry.
