>Any books about mining towns, company towns, or the old worker districts of Germany?
there are so many books out there on coal towns that you'd probably have to start by narrowing your search down to a particular region of interest. to give a rec though, Crandall Shifflett's Coal Towns from 1995 is a pretty good general overview of West Virginia, Kentucky, and Alabama.

My hometown started as a company town and I've actually been working on a small book for it recently. Have had a good time getting to know the handful of old-timers left who were actually around when it was owned by the company.
