Zeche Zweckel, Coal mine in Gladbeck, Germany.
The central machine hall stretches 126 meters in length, featuring a triangular gable entrance and an internal gallery with art nouveau design elements.
The Prussian state acquired the mining site in 1902, initiating shaft construction in 1908 and commencing coal extraction operations by 1911.
The former industrial complex now serves as a venue for cultural events, including the Ruhrtriennale arts festival in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Industrial history tours take place every second Sunday of the month at 2 PM, starting from Frentroper Straße 74 in Gladbeck.
During mining operations, workers discovered a warm salt spring, which led to the creation of a public bathhouse operating until 1950.
