The Rusting Headframe of Schmelz
Abandoned place – Forbach, France
Hidden deep within the reclaiming forests of Schmelz, Germany, the skeletal remains of this historic mine stand in silent decay. Once a bustling hub of Saarland's industrial might, the towering headframe and crumbling brick outbuildings are now slowly swallowed by a dense canopy of green, preserving a bygone era of coal and iron.
