A wonderful route during the week, especially in the morning or at sunset. You should avoid weekends, especially when the weather is nice. The trails are crowded then.

The Hermann mine in the Muttental in Witten is a former hard coal mine that was created as a result of the reassignment of part of the Österbank mine's field. The mine was founded in 1882 and was in operation until 18911. It played an important role in the early history of Ruhr mining and is now part of the Muttental mining hiking trail, which includes numerous historical sites and relics of mining. Source: KI

The job of a miner was always and everywhere a dangerous job. In addition to the everyday dangers of an accident at work, invisible dangers lurk. The fear of death and the "last shift" (miner's funeral) was a constant companion of miners for a long time. In the Ruhr mining region, over 30% of men worked in mining at times. From the beginning of industrialization until the 1950s, fatal accidents were a sad part of everyday life.

Representation of a so-called "mine by the bucket". During the coal shortage after World War II, there were over 1000 of them in the Ruhr area.

The Hermann mine began mining coal in 1883. In 1899, it built the 40 m deep, vertical Hermann shaft in the Muttental. Mining had already taken place in this mining area in earlier times, so working underground was very dangerous. In 1901, two miners drowned in a mining accident after water burst through an old mine.
