    "The Consol Park is located on the site of the former Consolidation 3/4/9 coal mine, and after decades of hard haunting, games and fun are now in the spotlight, with lawns for romping, equipment for skating, beach volleyball, basketball, inline hockey and Dense rows of trees protect the park from the surrounding settlements and make it look like a green island.The track bed of the old Zechenbahn was converted into a pedestrian and cycle path and connects the park via the Erzbahn route with the Emscher Park cycle path.

      Förderturm shaft 9 Gelsenkirchen

      Translated by Google •

        April 18, 2021

        Shaft 9 of the Consolpark has a unique design. As early as the 1870s, the Consolidation colliery was one of the best-funded in the entire Ruhr area. Shaft 9 played a special role in this. Its sinking began in 1915, but due to the First World War, the mining work could not begin until after 1918.
        The mighty headframe, which can be admired today, was built in 1922 and marks the end of a section in headframe construction:

        Its designers still carried out the two-storey double strut scaffolding in half-timbered construction. But since the late 1920s, the solid wall construction became the norm, so that the filigree structure is one of the last remaining headframes of its kind in North Rhine-Westphalia. The city of Gelsenkirchen therefore put the facility above shaft 9 on its list of monuments as early as 1987. Five years later, it placed the associated machine houses and hoisting machines under protection. Luckily. Today a beautiful ensemble and a great park for the district and beyond. Must see.
