The brand control Hugo 1/4, which now houses the restaurant, has also been preserved. The old management and some official houses on Horster Straße also bear witness to the mining past. In addition, of course, there are always old trams in the front yards and cable pulleys set up on Horster Strasse (corner of Horsterstrasse and Hugostrasse).

The outer shafts North, East, 9, EMU 2 were also backfilled - some of them are currently used for mine gas utilization.

On the site of the former pit 1/4, mine gas is sucked off via ducts and used to generate electricity. The mine gas extraction plant consists of gas suction devices (rotary piston blowers) and the processing plant consists of gas engines with coupled power generators. The components are housed in containers and the electricity is fed into the public grid. Mine gas extraction systems have also been set up on the site of the Hugo Ost and Hugo 9 ancillary systems.

The crossing keeper's house of the Hugo-Bahn on Horster Straße was preserved thanks to the work of Alfred Konter (1929-2017)[5]. The former employee of the Hugo Bahn, popularly known as Don Alfredo, refused to leave the building when the demolition excavator started to roll. Ultimately he was able to prevent the demolition, the house is now managed by the Ruhr Regional Association, and Alfred Konter had memorabilia on display in the house. The route of the Hugo railway has been converted into a railway cycle path and leads past the gate keeper's house. In January 2022, plans to redesign the area were announced; the building will remain unaffected.
