Germany is one of the countries whose economic success is closely linked to hard coal mining. For hundreds of years, more than half a million people drove down hundreds of meters in hoisting baskets to mine the "black gold" in the kilometer-long underground network.This work was particularly pronounced in one region: the so-called Ruhr area. In western Germany, where our home is. When our fathers and grandfathers used to come home after work, you could listen spellbound to their stories of freedom, justice and camaraderie - values that the Ruhr area still stands for today. In 2018, however, the era of people working hard underground came to an end. The last colliery in the Ruhr area closes. A landmark without whose history our modern digital world would not exist.

If you are looking for a ruhr-typical, at the same time fashionable souvenir the shop of the mine heroes is the right place. However, you have to bring some money. The nice clothes in the mining look are not cheap.

The opposite church of St. Elisabeth should already be demolished. The pit heroes bought the church in 2019 to use it as a storage and shipping facility. In this way, the parish rooms of the church can continue to be used as a meeting point in the district.Source: lokalkompass.de/gladbeck/c-politik/grubenhelden-kaufen-die-st-elisabeth-kirche_a1271979
