Nordfeld Consolidated Coal Mine, Coal mine and cultural heritage monument in Saarland, Germany

The Nordfeld Coal Mine stands on the northern slope of Höcherberg mountain between the towns of Höchen, Waldmohr, and Dunzweiler.

The mine operated from 1889 to 1905 after merchant Rosenthal initiated excavations based on successful mining operations in nearby Frankenholz.

The remaining structures, including the hoisting house and engine house, demonstrate the mining technologies and processes of the late 19th century.

Visitors can explore the mine's history through informational boards and a hiking trail that connects the remaining structures and infrastructure.

The original conveyor framework from Nordfeld mine survives at the Bauershaus shaft of the former Kohlwald mine near Wiebelskirchen.
