Zeche Minister Stein, Coal mine in Dortmund, Germany.
The Minister Stein mine features a steel hammerhead winding tower and four mining shafts constructed during its extensive industrial operations in Dortmund.
Founded in 1856, the mine played a central role in Germany's industrialization, operating continuously until its closure in 1987 after reaching depths of 780 meters.
The mining complex stands as an architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia, reflecting the industrial development that shaped the Ruhr region's identity.
Located at Deutsche Strasse 5 in Dortmund, the mine grounds remain open for visitors who want to examine the preserved industrial structures.
A memorial at the site commemorates 136 miners who lost their lives in a catastrophic accident that occurred at the facility in 1925.
