Hüttenstollen Osterwald, Historic coal mine museum in Salzhemmendorf, Germany.
The Hüttenstollen mine contains five coal seams between 35 and 70 centimeters thick, requiring miners to extract materials in confined spaces.
Mining operations at Osterwald began in 1584 under Herzog Julius von Braunschweig, with the Hüttenstollen tunnel specifically constructed in 1842.
The mining museum displays traditional tools called Gezähe and includes exhibits about mining techniques from different periods in German industrial development.
The mine offers guided tours on Sundays from March to October, with entrance fees of 4 euros for adults and 2 euros for children.
The extracted Wealdenkohle coal, formed 140 million years ago, powered the first coal-operated fine glass factory east of the Rhine River.
