Nulland shaft, Kerkrade grew steadily until the 1960s. Coal mining was the driving force of industrialization in the region. When the coal mining in Kerkrade came into existential hardship in the course of the general mining crisis in the western European coalfields (“collapse of the coal mines”), due to a government decision, the Uyl closed all Dutch mines within a decade.
