So it has looked in the past. The coal mine and coking plant Osterfeld in Oberhausen Osterfeld. Workplaces on the surface and in the underground for thousands of workers.

At right on top: The coal mixing hall. On the left of this the two winding towers. The concrete tower was destroyed but the steel tower became remained unchanged as a monument.


The steel winding tower as a monument and some buildings from the initial area of the former mine are remained unchanged for the future.


Today there is a park on the former area of the coking plant and coal mine Osterfeld. The former initial buildings of the check form the entrance to the park today.

Winding tower, mixing hall, the two buildings on the left and right of the former work gate and the so-called pit foreman house remained unchanged. You can see them all on the middle picture.
