"The 68 meter high conveyor tower above shaft 7 of the Erin mine with its widely visible lettering is located close to the city center and characterizes the cityscape of Castrop-Rauxels.It has since been restored and is now the landmark of a new service and commercial center on the former colliery Designed as a park of Irish landscape paintings, it commemorates the founder of the Erin mine: William Thomas Mulvany, an Irishman who left his homeland in the 1850s to start a new and successful career in the Westphalian coal industry -Eickel had already founded two collieries, Hibernia and Shamrock, he acquired extensive mining fields in Castrop-Rauxel in 1866 and created another colliery here, giving her the name Erin - the Celtic word for Ireland.In 1867 the colliery already took the promotion After initial difficulties caused by strong water absorption In the 1870s, the company developed successfully. The scaffolding over shaft 7, which remained as the only remnant on the foundation site, is still young and dates from the 1950s. The colliery had survived the war largely unscathed and in order to take advantage of the strong demand for coal in the post-war years, Erin was further expanded: 1948 shaft 6 was used for ventilation and 1953 shaft 7 in operation. Through him, from 1963, the entire Erin promotion came to light. After decommissioning on 23.12.1983, the colliery was converted into a business park in 1985.

On the site of the Erin 1/2/4/7 colliery, a technology and industrial park (Erin Park) has been created in some old outbuildings and on the open spaces of the former coking plant.
The former weather and cableway shaft Erin 3 is one of the oldest still preserved towers of its kind. It is technologically significant and a testimony to the economic history of the city.

In 1867 she founded the Irishman William Thomas Mulvany and gave her the Celtic name "Green Island". In 1983, the mine ERIN, the last remaining coal mine in the city, was shut down. The ERIN strut conveyor, which was commissioned in 1954 via shaft 7, is today a symbol of the cityscape.
