From 1908 to 1997, the Sophia-Jacoba coal mine brought an industrial boom in the region. With up to 6,000 employees, this was the largest employer far and wide.
After the closure in 1997, well-known people in Hückelhoven got together to preserve the "Shaft 3" shaft structure as a memorial.

Events are planned again during this time.
Nice that this evidence of the time still forms a backdrop for events.
