    A restored gallery mouth reminds of the mining industry that started here about 150 years ago.

      Tunnel mouth of the former Wald II colliery, a seam-like brown coal deposit. This deposit was discovered in 1856 by gold miner Jos. Harnischmacher from Recklinghausen and the mining property rights were granted in 1860. Today there is a very beautiful sculpture of Saint Barbara, the patron saint of miners, in the tunnel mouth hole.
