Stock & Scherenberger Erbstollen, Mining heritage site in Sprockhövel, Germany.

The Stock & Scherenberger Erbstollen extends three kilometers underground through the mining region of North Rhine-Westphalia, featuring original tunnel structures and water drainage systems.

Constructed in 1746 to drain the Stock & Scherenberg coal mine, the adit received recognition from Freiherr von Stein during his inspection of major Prussian projects in 1780.

The entrance portal of this drainage tunnel appears on the coat of arms of Sprockhövel, representing the industrial heritage of the region's mining operations.

Visitors need rubber boots to access the first 82 meters of the tunnel, where they can observe original mining techniques and wall inscriptions from past centuries.

The tunnel maintains its primary function as a water drainage system while simultaneously serving as an educational site about pre-industrial mining methods.
