The journey begins in 1847 with the manual sinking of the first shaft of Zollverein and ends with the closure of the final German hard coal pit in 2018. Visitors will follow the miners and learn about their daily work, their life, language, traditions and work techniques. Apart from many original exhibits and multisensory hands-on stations, there is a virtual trip through a real mine at a depth of 1,000 metres.
More information coming soon.
