The Egestorfer Stollen is a listed former mining tunnel in the Deister near Barsinghausen's Egestorf district in the Hanover region.
The Egestorfer tunnel was driven from May 1874 in order to reach further, deeper-lying coal deposits. The mining rights for the area had already been auctioned in 1854 for 30,717 thalers by the mining administration. At the mouth of the Stockbach, an area first had to be leveled for the necessary operating buildings. After driving 608 m in 1876, a 50 to 63 cm thick seam was developed.
