Zeche Schlägel & Eisen, Industrial heritage mine in Herten, Germany.
The mine complex features multiple shaft structures, machine halls, and industrial buildings spread across an extensive industrial area in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Founded in 1873, the mine started coal production in 1877 and reached its peak output of 2.03 million tons of coal annually by 1975.
The preserved machinery and buildings now serve as educational sites where visitors learn about mining techniques and industrial development in Germany.
Guided tours of the machine hall take place every first Sunday of the month at 2 PM, while the exterior grounds remain accessible throughout the day.
The site contains a rare five-cable winding tower standing 64 meters tall, representing the final phase of cable-supported construction in the Ruhr region.
