Barbarastollen, Mining museum at University of Cologne, Germany.
The Barbarastollen features a 40-meter tunnel displaying traditional coal mining equipment, transport systems, and original tools from the Aachen mining region.
Constructed in 1932 as an educational facility, the museum remained forgotten after World War II until its rediscovery during renovations in the 1980s.
The underground tunnel contains communication devices, manual mining tools, and transportation methods that demonstrate the daily operations of coal miners.
Located beneath the main university building, the museum requires advance appointments for visits and provides mandatory safety helmets for all visitors.
The tunnel features needle wood support beams that produce warning sounds when under excessive pressure, serving as a natural alert system.
