Zollstraße - (Hall of Fame Essen Northside)

The glory days are finally over.

Essen’s City Council decided to raise a new quarter in the so called Krupp-Belt-North. In the area between Bottroper Straße, Berthold-Beitz-Boulevard, Pferdebahnstraße, Haus-Berge-Straße, Zollstraße a new district with commercial real estates, 1000 flats and a public park with an open watercourse is under construction. And as Essen has a number of 50 districts, the new one will get the prosaic name „Essen 51“. At the site of the former colliery „Zeche Amalie“ at Helenenstraße/Zollstraße, 2010 a Graffiti Hall of Fame had been evolved. Those old historic colliery walls were home for the whole graffity community of the Ruhr Area. These walls are fallen and there's just a little bit left.
