Zeche Bonifacius, Architectural heritage mine in Essen, Germany.

The mine features neo-Gothic buildings arranged in a square layout, including administrative offices, bath facilities, and two distinctive hoist halls with industrial machinery.

Construction of Zeche Bonifacius began in 1857 with two Malakow towers, and Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks AG acquired and modernized the facility in 1899.

The former wages shed has been converted into a culture and conference hotel called 'Alte Lohnhalle', preserving the industrial heritage for modern use.

Located at Rotthauser Straße 46a in Essen, the site contains multiple preserved structures that demonstrate the evolution of mining operations through the centuries.

The mine deviates from traditional linear pit road layouts by implementing a square arrangement that provides comprehensive views of all operational buildings.
