Fig 3: Early 20th century photograph of the main entrance of the engine house with canopy (Collection LWL- Industriemuseum, Dortmund) Möhring decorated the main entrance to the engine house in a “Jugendstil” manner with an oval doorway and a windshield with stained glass decorations portraying vine leaves and grapes (!), and a canopy which is said to have been influenced by the metro entrances in Paris. Möhring considered himself an artist and, as a result, this led to conflicts not only with Paul Knobbe [8], who had originally drawn up the historistic design for the engine house, but also with the GHH because Möhring kept changing his plans and missing his deadlines. The GHH, in turn, put the main responsibility for the considerable delays in construction on the GBAG because they were responsible for hiring Möhring in the first place. All these conflicts resulted in considerable delays in construction. “Incredible Industry!” A revolution in monument care 65 years later, this sudden change of attitude can be seen as a happy accident for monument preservers. True, the original splendour of the engine house has faded over the years. Nonetheless the remaining Jugendstil elements have always been regarded with considerable admiration in expert circles. Their opinion was shared by contemporary authorities who made a surprisingly quick decision to preserve the building from demolition after the colliery was closed in 1966. This in turn marked a paradigm change in attitudes because the decision to list the engine house at the Zollern II/IV colliery signalled the start of a new movement to preserve industrial buildings in Western Germany. The crucial factor in deciding to preserve the building was the unusually splendid design, rather than the state of the building which had been heavily affected by its industrial use. There were many ideas for redeveloping the site. These included turning it into a railway museum or an art exhibition hall, and even foresaw the removal of the historic driving engines. The unspoken core idea was to “recover the icon”, and it went without saying that this would include the restoration of the stained-glass windows and the Jugendstil canopy over the entrance. Now, 40 years later, the engine house is finally due to undergo comprehensive conservation and restoration. Over the years there have been considerable changes in approaches to monument preservation. The building substance has degraded and the removal of damage and the need for a Fig 4: Office staff of the Zollern II/IV colliery posing for a photograph in front of the main entrance in the 1930s.

This has not made it easier for us to answer current questions regarding the best methods of conservation. Other questions facing us include: “How do we make museum use compatible with monument preservation?”; and “What are our priorities? To conserve the material and the colouring handed down to us or to highlight the original idea behind the building as an impressive showplace for the outside world? How much reconstruction does there have to be, and how much is permissible?” From decline to a living museum – a short survey: 1935: Plans are drawn up for a new central shaft in the adjacent Zollern and Germania coalfields. Hence all further investment in the old technical equipment is stopped. Due to the lack of building materials work on the erection of the central shaft ceases between 1939 and the 1950s, with the exception of two more powerful compressors and electrical equipment which are installed in the Zollern engine house in 1940. 1955: Coal ceases to be brought to the surface at the Zollern colliery and this operation is transferred to the new Germania central pit a few kilometres away. Shaft No. II is henceforth only used to transport men and material underground. The Jugendstil canopy above the entrance of the engine house is dismantled and much of the damage to the brickwork is stabilised in a basic manner. 1966: Zollern colliery finally closes and the buildings on the site are let out to different companies. 1969: Plans to demolish the engine house are met with a grass-roots campaign of heavy protest. At the end of the year the engine house is recognised as an icon of modern industrial design and put under a preservation order. This signals the start of a new movement to preserve industrial buildings in Western Germany.
