Zeche Carl, Cultural center in former coal mine in Altenessen, Germany.

The former Carl Mine features preserved industrial machinery and structures, including a ventilation shaft and engine house from the 1850s industrial period.

Founded by the Hercules Company in 1855, the mine produced high-quality anthracite coal and became renowned for Carl Coke production starting in 1883.

The Initiative Center Zeche Carl, established in 1977, transformed the industrial site into a regional venue for concerts, exhibitions, workshops, and community events.

The cultural center maintains regular operating hours and provides detailed information about upcoming events through its official website and information desk.

The mine's engine house now serves as an arts production facility, merging industrial architecture with contemporary creative activities in North Rhine-Westphalia.
