Steile Lagerung, Bronze monument at Europaplatz, Essen, Germany

The Steile Lagerung consists of sixty individual bronze pieces forming a sculpted representation of coal miners working in deep underground tunnels.

The monument resulted from a 1984 city competition to honor mining heritage, with sculptor Max Kratz completing the installation in September 1989.

The sculpture reflects the industrial identity of Essen through its depiction of miners using hammers and pickaxes within a coal seam formation.

Located south of Essen main station, the monument includes wheelchair access and stands near modern buildings above the A40 highway.

Each bronze component of the sculpture required individual casting to create an accurate representation of mining activities in confined underground spaces.
