Zeche Scharnhorst, Coal mine and archaeological site in Alt-Scharnhorst, Germany
The former industrial complex features a restored mine wall, remnants of mining infrastructure, and a commemorative wheel from the shaft equipment.
The Harpener Bergbau AG operated this coal extraction facility from 1891, reaching peak production of 517,200 tons with 1,820 workers in 1908.
The mine's heritage influences the local identity, with its wheel symbol incorporated into the Scharnhorst district's official coat of arms.
The site connects to public transportation through Grunewald station, a 2-minute walk away, and Gleiwitzstrasse station, located 16 minutes on foot.
An underground tunnel system linked Zeche Scharnhorst to neighboring Zeche Gneisenau in 1930, maintaining ventilation operations until July 1975.
