Ruined compressor hall of the Frankenholz coal mine

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.
