Frankenholz, old compressor hall

That hall is one of the last relics of the coal mine which was the economic heart of the little town (village, actually) of #Frankenholz. In it's heyday, about 3000 people worked here. In 1959 it closed down, and the hall has been sitting there, rotting, ever since.
