Zeche Hansa, Industrial heritage site in Dortmund, Germany
The Hansa mine complex contains multiple industrial buildings, including a winding tower, machine halls, and a characteristic solid wall scaffold design.
The mining operations started in 1856, faced water management challenges for a decade, and finally achieved coal production in 1869 under Prussian Bergwerks management.
The site represents North Rhine-Westphalia's industrial heritage, with architects Fritz Schupp and Martin Kremmer designing the surface facilities of the main shaft.
Visitors can explore the electrical hoisting machine in the original building, which underwent reconstruction after World War II damages.
The mine introduced the first system for removing mine gas in Dortmund during 1947, establishing a standard practice for methane management in coal mines.
