Luftschacht Rote Fuhr, Malakoff tower and architectural heritage monument in Dortmund, Germany.

The Luftschaft Rote Fuhr features classic brick construction with a distinctive tower structure that rises above the Dortmund district of Grevel.

Built between 1925 and 1927, this ventilation shaft initially served the Preußen II mine before being transferred to the operations of Bergwerk Gneisenau.

The structure represents the industrial development of the Ruhr region, where mining activities shaped the architectural landscape of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Following restoration work, the shaft complex now functions as an educational center focusing on ecological gardening and landscape construction techniques.

The preserved shaft tower stands as the last remaining element of the original complex after substantial demolition work in 1998.
