Gas holder, cooling towers and chimneys, Essen 1937

A lone cyclist rides along a lane past a tall cylindrical gas holder, gantries and two slender chimneys; a second view takes in the long halls and stacks of the plant across a meadow, and a third, from a road behind a fence, shows a row of squat cooling towers with smoke drifting from the chimneys. Coal, coke and gas from the Ruhr fed the rearmament that the Four-Year Plan under Hermann Göring was driving forward from 1936.
