Nature has found its space again on the old mine site...

Erinpark
In 1867, coal mining began in the Erin mine, founded by the Irishman William Thomas Mulvany, on the western outskirts of Castrop. The name Erin is a foreign name for Ireland. Shafts I and II were located on this site, and from 1891 onwards, a few kilometres further east, the hammerhead tower above the new shaft III, which still exists today, was built. In 1983, Erin mine was the last of five coal mines in the city to be closed down. From 1985 onwards, a combined recreational and commercial park was built on the site - Erin Park (often spelled »Erinpark«).
This means that one part is a usable green area for local recreation and commercial businesses have been located in another part of the park. See: ruhrgebiet-industriekultur.de/erin-park
