Lohnhalle at Zeche Zollern, Germany

A fascinating building at the colliery Zeche Zollern: The Lohnhalle. It is shaped like a station hall with some cashier’s desks inside. Here, the miners got paid their wages.

I was especially impressed by the luxury of this hall. For example, the architecture reminded me of a church or castle. I also discovered coloured window glasses, which were more expensive than others.
