Schacht Weser

The Weser shaft extends to a depth of 650 meters beneath the surface, featuring original mining equipment and structural elements from its operational period.

The mining facility commenced construction in 1909 and operated until 1923, focusing on potash salt extraction from the Ronnenberg deposit near Steinhuder Meer.

The museum exhibits display industrial equipment, minerals, technical drawings, and photographs that document the daily operations of miners in northern Germany.

Visitors need to schedule appointments in advance to access the museum, located at Schachtstrasse 9 in Altenhagen, with parking available along the street.

The shaft's ventilation tower received substantial upgrades in 1953 and 1980, incorporating advanced systems that improved air circulation throughout the facility.
