The Turteltaube mine was a tunnel mine in Bommern in the Muttental valley. The mine belonged to the Herbede district. The mine consisted of two wings, each with a separate tunnel, in the Nachtigallmulde valley and was in operation until the mid-19th century.

Not pretty, but functional. A great starting point for hikes in the beautiful countryside.

Nice view while waiting for the railway barrier 😉

Quiet location with beautiful hiking trails

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.
