Zeche Dorstfeld, Coal mine and architectural heritage monument in Dortmund, Germany.
The Zeche Dorstfeld site contains several industrial buildings that exemplify traditional German mining engineering and extraction techniques from the 19th century.
On May 19, 1925, an explosion at Zeche Dorstfeld caused the death of 41 miners and injured 27 others, leading to significant changes in mining safety protocols.
The mine stands as a representation of the Ruhr region's industrial development, marking the transformation of Dortmund from a rural area to an industrial center.
The mining complex opens for guided tours through the Dortmund Tourism Office, allowing visitors to explore the preserved structures and mining equipment.
The mine features original mechanical systems and coal extraction equipment that demonstrate the technological progression of German industrial mining operations.
