    The entrance to the Heintzenberg mine was renovated in the mid-2010s. At that time, the square in front of the mine got its current name: Place Pierre Ponath. Ponath was a member of the Resistance who lost his life hiding two deserters in 1944.

    In 1884, mining activities began at this location. Until the end of the First World War, the Heintzenberg mine was operated by the Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks Aktien Gesellschaft. After the end of the German Customs Union, and until its acquisition by ARBED, the Société Métallurgique des Terres-Rouges continued to operate the concession.
