The Jupiter colliery in Witten (Bommerholz-Muttental district) is a former hard coal mine. The colliery was also known under the names Zeche Jupiterbank, Zeche Jupiter Bank, Zeche Juppiter and Zeche Jupiter I & II. The colliery was located in the area of Rauendahlstraße east of Bockampstraße. In the second half of the 19th century, the mine belonged to the Märkisches Bergamts district and there to the Hardenstein jury area.Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeche_Jupiter
