The well-behaved colliery was a hard coal mine in Horst an der Ruhr, a district of Essen. Well-kept colliery is part of the Industrial Heritage Route.

"Closely connected with the history of the Horster mill is also the former coal mine Wohlverwahrt lying above the ground, whose beginnings go back to the 18th century.The rather unsuccessful working small mine was taken over by Wilhelm Vogelsang in 1937. In 1938 he had another shaft on his The coal mine received power from the hydroelectric power plant of the Horster mill.
After the Second World War, it was one of the smallest private mines on the Ruhr. In 1956, it had about 256 employees and about 60,000 tons of coal annually. Until 1962, the mine was still in operation, then it had to be finally closed because of an imminent flooding. The preserved historic building on the Beulestraße dates back to around 1910. The building formerly housed a manhole, mining, laundry, briquette, forge and chew.

I like these historic collieries with their very beautiful design. Details such as the large windows, the mining signs and much more give the buildings a special charm
