Grube Göttelborn, Coal mine complex in Quierschied, Germany
The Göttelborn mine site contains three preserved winding towers, including a 90-meter-high structure constructed in 1990 for shaft number four.
The mining operations started in 1446 with small coal pits, leading to the establishment of an industrial facility in 1887 that employed 4,200 workers at its peak.
The preserved mining structures serve as monuments of industrial heritage, displaying the evolution of coal extraction technology through different architectural periods.
The facility now functions as an industrial monument with photovoltaic installations generating 8,000 megawatt-hours of electricity annually for 3,500 households.
The underground network extended over 100 kilometers, connecting multiple mines through tunnels across the Saarland region until its closure in 2000.
