The Waltrop colliery was sunk from 1903 to 1905, i.e. H. built the shafts. It was the most important employer in Waltrop until the late 1970s. The mine was shut down on June 29, 1979. The remaining 1,294 employees were either put into early retirement or distributed to other mines in the region. Source: Waltrop. de

Beautifully renovated site of the former colliery with Manufactum and Hase Bikes. Next to it is the small stockpile with the Spurwerk tower.

The architecture of old collieries, here in particular the Waltrop colliery, is something special. All buildings on the site are now used commercially, including by Manufactum and Hase Spezialräder, as well as by medium-sized craft and service companies and engineering offices, as well as a gallery whose sculptures are also set up outside. With around 40 new settlements, the former colliery site now offers around 350 jobs. (Source Wikipedia)
