Mostly only open on weekends. Nice, small exhibitions with a wide variety of topics. The Knirps colliery is a great playground for the little ones. But only open when the mine is open.

"With its massive Malakow tower, the Hannover colliery in Bochum is reminiscent of a castle from the Middle Ages. It was built in the middle of the 19th century. The conveyor technology that was invented here was innovative. It is still in use worldwide today. The machine hall rotates during demonstrations, the large traction sheave of the steam hoist from 1893. It is the oldest specimen that can be seen in the Ruhr area at its original location. A highlight for the youngest is our mining playground "Zeche Knirps".

A great place to take a look at the history of mining in the Ruhr area. The tower is also a great vantage point. Easy to reach via the Erzbahntrasse.
The nearby Knirps colliery is definitely recommended for people with children. A playground dedicated to the theme of mining.😉👍
