Gedenkstätte Zeche Radbod
Gedenkstätte Zeche Radbod, Mining memorial in Hamm, Germany.
Description
Gedenkstätte Zeche Radbod is a memorial at the site of a former mine in Hamm that honors victims of a past disaster. Two facing commemorative plaques display names, while pedestals between them feature sculptures of miners and mourning figures.
History
The memorial was built following a devastating accident at Radbod mine in 1908 that killed hundreds of miners. This disaster triggered major reforms in mining safety across German mining regions.
Culture
The memorial displays sculptures by Ernst Müller-Braunschweig showing a miner holding tools and a grieving widow with her daughter. These figures convey the human side of the disaster and speak directly to visitors.
Practical
The memorial stands at the corner of Ermlinghofstraße and Fritz-von-Twickel-Weg and is easily reached on foot. Visitors can access the site freely at any time as part of the regional Industrial Heritage Trail.
Did you know?
The site preserves twin steam winding engines from 1907 and 1908, among the few surviving examples of such machinery in North Rhine-Westphalia. These technical monuments still demonstrate the power and complexity of mining technology from that era.
