Zeche Carl Funke, Architectural heritage mine in Essen, Germany.
The Zeche Carl Funke features a prominent hoist frame structure that stands as a testament to the industrial mining operations of North Rhine-Westphalia.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this coal mine contributed substantially to Germany's economic growth and regional industrial development.
The preserved mining site enables visitors to understand the daily routines, working conditions, and technical processes that shaped generations of local mining communities.
