Das Erbe - The Heritage
|
The entrance to the Reden colliery clearly shows the taste promoted by the Nazi dictatorship. While the building style symbolizes modernism and seems to be politically neutral, the miner's statue and the frieze cleary show the dictator's taste. The frieze only survived because the swastika symbols are hidden. Heroic looking statues seem to be typical for government controlled decoration. My opinion towards this style is well characterized by the modern additions to the left of the entrance.
Although the presentation is not precisely my taste, I recommend a visit of the "Das Erbe" exhibition. It is better than the old Bexbach mining museum.
