Oskar am Kanal beer garden

The beer garden/beach café at the Künstlerzeche mine invites you to a relaxing stop.Coming from Gelsenkirchen, you must drive under the bridge and not follow the bike path to the left.In the front section, there are some beer tent sets and some lounge furniture. In the back, you can dig your feet into the sand from deck chairs.The adjacent playground and soccer field can keep children entertained even during a longer break.You should be careful with small children, however, as the path runs directly along the canal and there is a vertical sheet pile wall in place of the embankment at this point.A restroom is available at the Künstlerzeche mine.

Wanne-Eickel was an independent city in the northern Ruhr area, existing in this form from 1926 to 1974. As part of the North Rhine-Westphalian territorial reform, it was merged with the independent city of Herne with effect from January 1, 1975.[1] Wanne-Eickel received its district status in 1926 as a city, and from 1955 to 1970 it was a city. Until its merger with Herne, Wanne-Eickel had the highest statistical population density of all German cities; covering an area of 21.31 km², it amounted to approximately 5,100 inhabitants per km² in December 1965.The coat of arms of the city of Wanne-Eickel, in a slightly modified form, became that of the new city of Herne. The city colors of gold, black, and gold were also adopted. The old license plate number WAN has been available again since December 2012 in connection with the liberalization of license plate regulations.[2] The development of Wanne-Eickel was closely linked to mining, which had a decisive influence on its growth. A total of 20 pits belonging to the Königsgrube, Hannibal, Pluto Thies/Pluto Wilhelm, Unser Fritz, and Shamrock mines were spread across the former town area. Coal mining lasted from 1856 to 1993, and several industrial monuments commemorate this period.

Nice beer garden on the Rhine-Herne Canal in Wanne-Eickel. At the weekend when the weather is nice it can get quite crowded.
