    Dutch investors founded in 1855 the mining company Holland, to open up the mining fields Carl Reinhard, Adelbert, Hain, Anton Ernst and Wupperthal in the communities Ueckendorf and Wattenscheid. The consolidation of the pit fields under the name Holland took place in 1861. The shaft I in Ückendorf was sunk to the end of 1856 to a depth of 68 m into the Karbon and was in operation until 1963, shaft II also followed at 68 m in the same year and was abandoned in 1958. The Wattenscheider shafts III, IV, V and VI were drilled in 1873, 1898, 1907 and 1921, and abandoned because of exhaustion of coal in 1964, 1988 (shaft IV and VI) and already in 1935 (shaft V) and filled with overburden.

    The highest coal production of the coal mine Holland took place in 1969 (when most shafts were already abandoned) with 1.7 million tons with a workforce of nearly 3000 employees. In the 1970s, Holland was merged with the colliery Zollverein to a composite mine, the land sales, even after completion of coal mining, was continued. The decommissioning of the entire plant was finally in the late 1980s.

    Like many other industrial buildings in the Ruhr area, the facilities of the Zeche Holland were documented by the photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher. The winding towers of the Holland I / II colliery in Gelsenkirchen are Malakow towers (built 1856-1860) and have been preserved to this day, being the only double malakov tower in Europe. Today, apartments are housed in the towers.

      Every headframe is nice to look at

        Unfortunately, it is being torn down more and more, which is a shame because the Ruhr area would not exist without a coal mine.

          Beautifully restored old winding tower. If you look at the industrial area today, you can see how large the area of the colliery was back then.

              The winding tower of the Holland mine is a little hidden, but it is worth driving past. The winding tower was recently restored.

                  Dutch investors founded Bergbau-Aktiengesellschaft Holland in 1855 to develop the mining fields Carl Reinhard, Adelbert, Hain, Anton Ernst and Wupperthal in the communities of Ueckendorf and Wattenscheid. The mine fields were consolidated under the name Holland in 1861. Shaft I in Ückendorf was sunk to a depth of 68 m in the Carboniferous at the end of 1856 and was in operation until 1963, Shaft II also followed in the same year with 68 m and was closed in 1958. Wattenscheider shafts III, IV, V and VI were sunk in 1873, 1898, 1907 and 1921 and abandoned due to exhaustion of coal in 1964, 1988 (shaft IV and VI) and already in 1935 (shaft V) and filled with overburden. The connecting line to the Gelsenkirchen station of the Cöln-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (CME), which was built jointly with the United Carolinenglück, Hanover and Rheinelbe collieries, was put into operation on March 12, 1859. Track connections to the Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (RhE) to the train stations Ückendorf (commissioning 1867) and Wattenscheid (commissioning November 28, 1876) followed.

                  The highest coal production of the Zeche Holland took place in 1969 (when most of the shafts had already been abandoned) with 1.7 million tons and a workforce of almost 3000 employees. In the 1970s, Holland was merged with the Zeche Zollverein to form a composite mine, whereby land sales continued to be served even after the coal mining had ended. The entire plant was finally shut down at the end of the 1980s.

                  Like many other industrial buildings in the Ruhr area, the facilities of the Zeche Holland were documented by the photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher.

                        If you like to look at old winding towers and are currently cycling nearby, you should take a break here! The headframe of the Holland 3/4/6 mine, which actually used to come from Zollverein, has been beautifully restored! Otherwise the buildings are all occupied by different companies! They also wanted to set up a restaurant here, but nothing has happened in that direction to date! At the entrance to Holland 1/2 there is at least the Unmistakable!
