Zeche Ewald, Industrial heritage site in Herten, Germany.
The Ewald mine complex features architectural elements from three mining periods, including a Malakow tower from 1888 and a double strut framework from 1955.
Founded in 1871 by 21 shareholders, including entrepreneur Ewald Hilger, the mine developed into one of the most productive facilities in the Ruhr region with 4,000 workers.
The mine built residential settlements for immigrant workers and their families from Silesia and northern Bohemia, starting with houses on Elisabethstrasse in 1874.
The former wages and light hall now houses the Hoheward RVR Visitor Center, presenting an interactive exhibition about energy, seasons, planets, and the horizon observatory.
The 40-meter-high scaffolding over Shaft 2 underwent a rotation in 1986 to improve materials handling, resulting in the sheave being pulled from the south.
