A Malakoff tower consists of up to 3m thick brick masonry and a stiffened construction inside. In this way, the sheaves can be held and the enormous tensile forces of the hoisting machines can be absorbed.
It is named after a part of the Sevastopol fortress, which (until the Crimean War) was considered impregnable.
The shaft frame comes from England, a friend of the former mine rescue team told me yesterday.
The horror labyrinth used to be one too: creepy miners in the Kaue.
The lamp room was between the shaft frame and the cheek.
There is now the Zechentreff - a beer garden that is sure to become a cult.
In 1974 the production was stopped, in 1987 the backfilling of shaft 2 began.
Today you can climb (Sportbund, not commercial) and get married (that's commercial) on the 30m high tower with a viewing platform.
The RAG veterans also meet here.
From here it is not far to the tetrahedron, the indoor ski area / skydiving and the Emscherradweg.
One of the last 3 cloud machines (Prosper coking plant, Arcelor Mittal) in the Ruhr area is right next door.
If you arrive by car and want to start from here: There are enough parking spaces.
Good luck for!

Old colliery area with many attractions.
From the climbing tower to the horror cabinet.
There is something suitable for young and old.
