If you want to climb the summit of the Halde Haniel, you will pass a representation of the Stations of the Cross on the way up: The Passion of Christ is shown in 15 sections by the visual artist Tisa von der Schulenburg. In addition, as you walk along the path, you can take a look at the history of the Halde Haniel: Historical mining tools can be seen along the route. Once at the top, the imposing cross by the Oberhausen artist Adolf Radecki catches your eye, which marks the end of the Way of the Cross. It dates back to the visit of Pope John Paul II to the region in 1987.
At the respective stations of the cross, the visitor will find not only biblical images and texts on the passion of Jesus Christ on wooden stands, which represent a two-dimensional mine winding tower, but also objects and authentic tools from the Prosper-Haniel mine. For example, there are buckets, mine carts, mining hammers and grabs along the way, which are named and given a brief explanation.

"During the 1920s, the mining hammer operated with compressed air was increasingly used to extract coal from the longwall. This caused the output per man and shift to increase enormously. In the Ruhr prayer, a model developed by the Flottmann company in Herne was put into operation for the first time in 1904 and then used on almost all mines.For the hewers, working with the mining hammer was on the one hand a relief, on the other hand, the modern technology also entailed health risks.In order to absorb the vibrations, the device should be pushed as hard as possible into the coal face with physical strength Up to around 1,200 blows per minute had to be endured - with some severe late damage (hammer hammer disease) for the wrist, arm and shoulder joints.Planing and cutting machines later replaced the hammer, but as a single tool for special work remained indispensable underground."

Halde Haniel is worth a visit. Also something for Father's Day.
