    Tips

    The Prosper Haniel mine in Bottrop was the last producing hard coal mine in Germany. On December 21, 2018, the last chunk of hard coal was unearthed here in a big ceremony and handed over to the Federal President.

    Since then, the withdrawal from the mine workings underground has been advanced in order to securely close the mine. This work is completed.

      A place with a lot of 🇩🇪 history ⚒️
      At the top of the Haniel heap, there is a great panoramic view at approx. 159 meters 🎨📸⛰️ totally worth the effort of the climb 👌🏼

        The last mine closed in 2018. Even worked there from 2001-2011
