Klosterbusch mine, Coal mine in Querenburg district, Bochum, Germany.
The Klosterbusch mine complex includes multiple shafts, ventilation systems, and processing facilities spread across the lower Lottental area near Ruhr University Bochum.
Established in 1918 by the mining union Vereinigte Klosterbusch, the colliery reached depths of 368 meters and produced 454,000 tons of coal at its peak in 1937.
The mine represents the industrial transformation of the Ruhr region, employing 1,000 workers and contributing to the economic development of Bochum during the 20th century.
Visitors can access the site through designated hiking trails that connect to the Industrial Heritage Route, established in March 2014 for public exploration.
The mine utilized an advanced cable car system built in 1920 to transport coal directly to the Ruhr Valley Railway loading station at Holland colliery in Herbede.
