Mine Monopol Schacht Grimberg 1/2
Mine Monopol Schacht Grimberg 1/2, Coal mine in Bergkamen, Germany
The Monopol Grimberg mine features two main shafts that reach depths of over 450 meters into the coal-rich ground of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The mining complex started operations in 1890 when Shaft 1 was constructed, leading to coal extraction beginning in 1893 at significant depths.
The mine stands as part of the Industrial Heritage Trail, demonstrating the mining traditions that shaped the Ruhr region's development over generations.
The former mining grounds now host multiple recycling companies, while Shaft 2 maintains protected status and houses educational facilities about mining methods.
The mine required 36,000 cubic meters of concrete to fill Shaft 2 in 2019, marking the final closure of its water drainage function.
