The Ruhr district has arisen and grown by the coal mines as the most important energy supplier for the reconstruction after the war. Thousands of workers came with her families here. There were enough work and apartments. How early settlements were built around a castle, the Ruhr district grew around its coal mines. Today, only a few mines are still operating and some winding towers, some of them are made to industry monuments, show of the former "coal factories".

In the
past center of the mine, now center of the little park: The winding tower of the former coal mine Recklinghausen II. The area around the shaft has lain fallow for a long time. However they have finally started in 2002 to form the area and to lay out a little park around the old shaft. A mining museum is located in the old winder machine hall, for the children there is a Half-Pipe now in the park and the course participants of the DSK training center can relax here in the course breaks.

On Feb.17.03 it was my first start with KAP after the winter break
again. The conditions actually were ideal: Radiant weather, wind with
approx. 4 m/s from east and sufficient place around the shaft for
lifting the kite and walk to the winding tower. |
