>>634626>ruhr valley>western Germany, NRW to be preciseall the big cities like Oberhausen, Duisburg, Essen, Dortmund, etc have had a shitton of steel and coal industry build in the 50ies. Coal is "dirty" these days because muh Co2 so thats no longer subsidized, and steel is cheaply contracted from china, so no monies there either. No cash = industry shuts down, and since you can hardly remove those massive concrete and steel structures, they sometimes just left them rot.
No industry= no more need for our ginormously overengineered railway system, so there's a bunch of abandonned cargo rail stations around too (pic related).
What exactly are you looking for?
