Zeche Nachtigall
The shaft mine Zeche Nachtigall, opened in 1714, was among the first in the Ruhr area. After sitting disused for over 100 years since 1892, the mine got a whole new lease of life when the LWL-Industriemuseum was opened in its premises. Visitors, armed with miners’ lamps, get to explore a real coal seam and check out a working steam turbine and an ancient coal barge.
