Built in the short economic boom between two world wars,
修建于两次世界大战间隙的短暂的经济繁荣时期，
the Zollverein Coal Mine in Germany stands as a reminder of an industry's past and an architectural future.
德国的关税同盟煤矿代表了一个煤矿行业的过去，也代表了建筑设计的未来。
The Zollverein Mine was decommissioned in 1986, after being an active mine for over 100 years.
经过100多年的开采，关税同盟矿于1986年退役了。
It was built with conscious thought for the external appearance,
修建之初，矿厂的外观就经过了精心的设计，
and during redevelopments and expansions in the 1920s, adopted a Bauhaus style of architecture,
在20世纪20年代的重建和扩建过程中，矿厂又融入了包豪斯建筑设计风格，
which features a modern symmetrical and industrial feel and combines form with function.
采用了现代的对称艺术，融入了浓浓的工业风，堪称集形式与功能于一体。
Today it remains open to the public as an industrial museum and is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
如今，矿厂变身成了对公众开放的工业博物馆，并以世界文化遗产的形式得到了联合国教科文组织的保护。
At Zollverein, much of the former coal factory has been left in tact, allowing visitors to view the pits, railway lines and even the miners housing.
这里几乎还是原来煤厂的模样，参观者可以看到矿坑、铁路线路甚至矿工的住房。
It is truly a monument of industry caught in a moment of history.
在历史长河中的一瞬，关税同盟煤矿的确堪称当时的工业纪念碑。
