Properties:
The LWL-Museum Zeche Nachtigall in Witten is an important testimony to industrial culture in the Ruhrgebiet. As one of the first collieries in the region, it offers a deep insight into the beginnings of mining. The pioneering days of mining come to life in the Muttental. Equipped with helmets, visitors can explore a real coal seam in the Nachtigall tunnel. Former miners talk about the tough working conditions under which the "black gold" was extracted. The "Hercules" shaft conveys knowledge about mining technology and the working conditions of the 19th century. An audiovisual presentation in the historic engine house brings the industrialization of the Ruhrgebiet to life. The oldest winding machine in the region is also located here. The ring kiln shows how the colliery was later used as a brickworks. A visit can be ideally combined with a ride on the Ruhrtalbahn or the Muttentalbahn, which round off the historical experience.
