Zeche Glückaufsegen, Coal mine in Brünninghausen district, Dortmund, Germany
The Glückaufsegen mine features a preserved engine house along Am Rombergpark street, which now serves as a service center powered by geothermal energy.
Established in 1833, the mine operated until 1926, reaching its peak production of 352,200 tons of coal with 1,590 workers in 1914.
The mine building represents North Rhine-Westphalia's industrial heritage, marking the early coal mining development in the Ruhr region of Germany.
The remaining structures of the mine include visible slag heaps in the forest near the zoo and informational panels describing its mining operations.
The mine's shaft Ephorus, constructed in 1835, incorporated a steam-powered hoisting machine, marking an early adoption of this technology in the region.
