    From 1904, plans were made to build a mine at this location, but the first coal could only be mined in 1930. Over the years, the mine and the associated power plant [komoot.de/highlight/223404 ] were continuously expanded. The mine even tunneled under the Rhine and took over several left-Rhine shafts from other mines. Coal mining ceased in 2008.

    The winding tower above shaft 1 (Franz-Lenze-Schacht), built in 1938/39, was preserved as a monument. The remaining mining facilities were demolished.

    The Walsum mine is part of the Industrial Heritage Route.
