⚒️Zeche schlägel und Eisen⚒️

Symbol of mining.

A sledgehammer and a type of chisel - or: schlägel and iron.

These were once the most important tools in mining.

It's no wonder, then, that they were used as miners' coats of arms as early as the 16th century.

Operations began in 1873 - operations ended in 2000

The mine at shaft 4 has received a light installation by the Berlin artist Gunda Förster.

The light installation "Konturen" has been on display since December 10, 2021, from dusk until sunrise.

The contours of the 64m high headframe tower and the two mine fans were covered with white LED strips,

which are somehow reminiscent of the film Tron Legacy💡.

It's really great what has become of the former Schlägel & Eisen colliery in Herten-Langenbochum. Not only has new industry settled in a very short time, it also has a high quality of stay. The "Allee des Wandels" cycle route also contributes to this, as it connects the Hoheward dump in the south of Herten and Westerholt on a former coal mine railway route and runs right through the center of the mine.
