The winding tower of the Hannover Colliery rises into the sky in the North of Bochum like a mediaeval fortress. At the time it was built the defiant architecture also made a powerful impression on contemporaries. The most splendid exhibit in the engine house is the steamdriven winding engine built in 1893. It is the oldest of its type still standing in its original place. During live demonstrations this technical dinosaur is brought back to life once more. The final wagons of coal were brought to the surface here in 1973. Nowadays the Hannover Colliery promotes art, exhibitions and events from steam festivals to boules tournaments. The “Kids’ Colliery” is a big hit with younger visitors. Here they can play at being coal miners, and in doing so, learn all about the different facets of the work.
