    This Dörnen type headgear is the most common at the collieries overhere in Asturias. They were built at the 50s.

    This should be a Dörnen type of tower, compare http://www.foerdergerueste.de/geruestarten.htm (Dörnen = bridges, blast furnaces, headgears; Dortmund; demolished 2006).

    Tilts a bit to the right. Otherwise: technically one of your best images. Beautiful tower. Quite interesting: this is a relatively rare example of a winding tower, which clearly demonstrates the Klönne principle: notice the pin-jointed construction connecting the vertical and the diagonal structure.
    Greetings Harald
