Itzenplitz mine, Coal mine in Schiffweiler, Germany.
The Itzenplitz mine features two preserved headframes, a historic pump house, and a double washing facility situated within the Neunkirchen district of Saarland.
Established in 1857 as a Prussian state mine, the facility received its name from Count Heinrich von Itzenplitz in 1863 and operated until its closure in 1960.
The mining complex represents the industrial development of the Saar region, with its structures reflecting the technological evolution of coal extraction methods.
The preserved buildings of the former mining site now accommodate residential spaces and commercial establishments, maintaining their original architectural features.
Over 350 ancient mining depressions, known as pingen, remain visible in the surrounding forest, documenting extraction practices from the 15th century.
