Erzbergwerk Ramsbeck, Mining museum in Bestwig, Germany
The Erzbergwerk Ramsbeck features exhibits of mining machinery, mineral collections, and interactive displays within a 1953 building complex dedicated to industrial heritage.
The mine operated continuously from 1518 to 1974, focusing on lead and zinc extraction, making it one of the longest-running mining operations in Sauerland.
The museum preserves the traditions of miners who formed close bonds through their shared experiences and developed specific customs in their underground work environment.
Visitors can take a 1.5-kilometer journey on the original mine train, reaching depths of 300 meters while maintaining a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius.
The facility contains what was once the largest underground conveyor drum, demonstrating the technical innovations in German mining operations of its time.
