Are you a technology enthusiast? You have to see it: When it was built, the entire Zollverein complex was considered the largest welded construction in Europe. This superlative referred to the 2,200 tons of a total of 7,700 tons of steel that were welded together, mainly during the construction of the halls. The concerns that existed at the time about the still young development of welding technology prevented it from being used in the construction of the headframe. The frame was therefore designed as a riveted construction due to the high dynamic load.

The Zeche Zollverein, world cultural heritage. You have to see the area. Immediately afterwards the coking plant. There you can experience the dimensions, even if the terrain is no longer under steam ...

Zollverein mine shaft 1 / 2

The sinking work for shaft 1 of the Zollverein mine began on February 18, 1847. However, coal mining did not begin until 1851 due to water ingress.
In order to regulate the water inflow at shaft 1, another shaft, shaft 2, was sunk next to shaft 1 in 1850 and was put into operation in 1852. For the first time, two externally identical Malakow towers were erected above the shafts as a conveyor system. In 1964, shaft 2 received the previously dismantled winding tower from shaft 2 of the closed Friedlicher Nachbar mine, Bochum-Linden, as a new conveyor system. Shaft 2 is still used today for water management.
