Schlägel & Eisen mine: More than just a historic mine – a lively hotspot for adventurers and mold breakers of the expedition milieu. Founded in 1873, coal mining ended here in 1989. What remains is the oldest surviving Promnitz-type strut structure in Germany – a must for fans of rare industrial architecture.
Urban art and cultural events mean there is no chance of boredom here and make the mine a place that literally embodies the motto "Borders are there to be crossed". Ideal for creative minds looking to get away from the mainstream and for anyone who wants to feel the urban pulse of the Ruhr area. The new district park invites you to chill out, stroll or have a spontaneous picnic and is strategically located on the Allee des Wandels. Perfect for cool Instagram posts or a relaxed bike ride through industrial history and walkable landscape art. The local community is happy to show what it means to be a real "Ruhrie", and exchanging ideas with locals brings indispensable insider information to the pulsating heart of the Ruhr area.
Surrounded by an authentic atmosphere, the Zeche Schlägel & Eisen offers intensive insights and unforgettable moments in the heart of the Ruhr area culture.
