One of the most beautiful miners' settlements in the Ruhr area!
It was built around the same time as the Teutoburgia I/II colliery, around 1909-1923. The colliery began mining coal in 1911, but was shut down again in 1925 due to unprofitability. The settlement was restored true to the original as part of the International Building Exhibition Emscher Park in 1998 and is now a listed building as a whole. Unusual for a mining colony - none of the 136 buildings are alike.

Even the Greek philosopher Plato was convinced: We must take equal care of our physical and mental health. A healthy living and housing environment is also important for this, as the garden city movement particularly emphasized. Many factory housing projects were built from 1900 onwards based on their ideas.

Wheel of Fortune Exercise – Places of Happiness

We refer to many things that are important and precious to us as treasures (Old German: "Hort"). This doesn't always have to do with money, but rather with accessibility. This is particularly clear with places: Publicly accessible, communal spaces don't belong to us alone, but they can mean a lot to us and give us so much. Often precisely because we visit them together with other people, like a café, a cemetery, or a stadium.

Pay attention – here or somewhere else – to how a place affects you: How do you like it? How are you feeling here? What do you like about this place? What does it do for you? (Perhaps it's hard to put into words; perhaps it's more of a feeling you're feeling.)
Who are you here with, and how are you feeling about it? Who would you like to be here with, and why?

If the place is good for you, do you want to come back, and if so, when? In what other place that's easily accessible do you feel similar?

This mining settlement has been completely renovated. It shows how well planned the settlement was built. In contrast to other mining settlements in which the individual houses have been individually redesigned, the Teutonia mining settlement is in the original style, but has a uniform design throughout.
