Winding Tower Bönen Germany
Germany
From 1924 to 1929 the winding tower Königsborn III/IV was planned and built. It’s an important industrial building of the twenties and became a model of the most modern winding towers of this time. The architect Alfred Fischer ranks between the most important industrial architects in the Ruhr district. The winding tower is a singular industrial monument with a height of 68 meters. Up to a height of 55 meters you can access it on foot over stairs. The tower is arranged in the height by different levels. Each of this level offers a special and singular atmosphere. Over eighty years the mining industry coined the life of the humans in the village, so the winding tower represents an important part of the history in Bönen. Now, the promotion association "Förderverein Königsborn III/IV" and the Community Foundation Winding Tower (Bürgerstiftung Förderturm) are making the tower to a local point of interesting.

More About Germany

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.
