We were guests at the "Miner's Day 2019" in the Mining and History Museum in Oer-Erkenschwick. It was a really great atmosphere. Various artists delighted the guests with a great program: whether comedian Jaqueline Feldmann, the group "Die Landgrafen", Comidians Hotte and Toto on Tour and many others led through a colorful program - there was something entertaining for every taste. Ruhr mining can look back on a centuries-long history. There was coal mining in the Ruhr area as early as around 1300, as documents from that time prove. But the history of industrial coal mining only began in the 19th century, because ever better, modern machines enabled workers to transport the coal from ever greater depths. The mine, the coking plant and the nitrogen works were active from the first sinking in 1899 until the closure of the Haard mine in 1999. In 2008, the last coal mines in Germany closed - it was the end of a traditional industry. Many people forget that Germany also has many natural resources, including hard coal. The miner's profession was once a respected profession in the traditional craft that was often passed down through generations. The Ewald Continuation colliery can also look back on years steeped in history. I think it's really great that the mining and history museum exists. The miner's profession must not be forgotten. The Ewald Continuation mine is a local recreation area that was opened to the public in 2009.

Super great day with the two guides Andreas and Michael. Great stories about mining and their own experiences, beautifully packaged with wit and humor. A unique experience because we had booked an active day as a group of 9+3=11 men. Many greetings from Lüdinghausen to Andreas and Michael and thanks again for an unforgettable day with you.

A very good tour and very good explanation with a lot of specialist knowledge in the history of mining. Impressive machines, everything was well constructed and maintained with love.

Waren heute das erste Mal da. Leider erst um 12 Uhr, da um13 Uhr das Museum wieder schließt. Haben aber dennoch einen echt netten Kumpel gefunden, der bereit war uns noch ein bisschen zu begleiten. So haben wir in der knappen Stunde doch noch einiges in Erfahrung bringen können. War sehr informativ. Schön das die Bergmann Tradition hier noch am Leben erhalten wird. Viele gute Ausstellungsstücke sind vorhanden. Werden noch mal wieder kommen, mit mehr Zeit und uns den Rest anschauen. Vielen Dank soweit und Glück Auf.

Der beste Ort den ich kenne. Ein Museum für klein und gross.Super nette Leute.Ach Leute ,alle die auf Kumpel und Bergbau stehen müssen mal dahin. (Translated by Google) The best place I know. A museum for young and old. Super nice people. Oh people, everyone who likes miners and mining must go there.

The museum is not huge, but offers a good impression of life and work underground. It's definitely worth it if you're interested in mining.

A nice museum that doesn't look like a museum at first (from the outside). Nevertheless, it was very nice inside, on the topic of mining. However, I was missing the labels, which meant I lost a lot of information. The tour shows tunnels, their machines, various tools and much more. It is also possible to take photos.

Great, you have to see it. Were there for the craft beer tasting, but will come back for a tour. It's nice that the history of mining is preserved and can be seen this way.

(Translated by Google) Very nice, small museum that authentically depicts the working world underground. Of course much smaller than the Bergbau Museum Bochum, but also much cheaper and better suited for people with claustrophobia. Ideally suited as a day trip for the family. (Original) Sehr schönes, kleines Museum, dass die Arbeitswelt unter Tage authentisch darstellt. Natürlich deutlich kleiner als das Bergbau Museum Bochum, dafür aber auch deutlich günstiger und für Leute mit Platzangst besser geeignet. Als Tagesausflug für die Familie bestens geeignet.

(Translated by Google) nostalgic, realistic and the club members carry out their hobby with passion. Many see their vocation in this and show this (Original) nostalgisch, realistisch und die Vereinsmitglieder führen ihr Hobby mit Herzblut aus. viele sehen darin ihre Berufung und zeigen dies

Happiness What many generations have achieved is recorded here. Mining coal at depths of up to 1300m in conjunction with changing technology. The tour was interesting and is a tip if you visit the area.

It is a very beautifully designed museum. When you enter it you immediately feel like you are underground. I can say this because I worked underground myself and completed part of my training there. I can only recommend a visit. Places like this are needed to show young people what grandpa or dad used to do. So people go there, the opening times are on the internet.

Top 👍🏻

Top facility, run with love

Nice location to celebrate.

(Translated by Google) Small mining museum that absolutely needs to be supported in order to ensure the preservation of the shaft 3 headframe. So very educational too. (Original) Kleines Bergbaumuseum , das unbedingt unterstützt werden muss um den Erhalt des Fördergerüst Schacht 3 zu sichern. Auch so sehr lehrreich.

(Translated by Google) Really great. As an old miner, many memories come up again. Thanks to the people who made it all happen. (Original) Wirklich Klasse.Als Alter Bergmann kommen viele Erinnerungen wieder hoch.Danke an die Leute die das alles geschafft haben.

Super liebevolles Ambiente. Wertvolle Erinnerungen! Tolle Location. Sollte man unbedingt besuchen. Nicht nur für Kinder interessant. (Translated by Google) Super loving atmosphere. Precious memories! great location You should definitely visit. Interesting not only for children.

Super, tolles Bergbaumuseum, wo wann alles wie Untertage sehen kann, dazu rollstuhlgerecht und Begleiter die original Bergbaugeschichten erzählen. Darüber hinaus eine tolle Lokation wo man wie im Untertageambiente feiern kann. Phänomenal. (Translated by Google) Super, great mining museum, where when everything can be seen as underground, wheelchair accessible and attendants tell the original mining stories. In addition, a great location where you can celebrate in the underground ambience. Phenomenal.

(Translated by Google) There, with much passion, heart and love the tradition of the Ruhr pot will receive! (Original) Dort wird mit viel Leidenschaft, Herz und Liebe die Tradition des Ruhrpott´s erhalten!

Mega Insider! Größer als gedacht von außen so unscheinbar. Waren schon in vielen Bergbau Museen wie zb das große in Bochum aber dieses hier war das beste. Viel persönlicher und man bekommt einen richtigen Eindruck. Danke für die tolle Führung! Mein Sohn hatte viel Spaß.

(Translated by Google) You should have seen it (Original) Muss man gesehen haben

(Translated by Google) If you have something left over for the coal time, you should go here. The exhibition is impressive, but the stories of the old miners are much more exciting. Highly recommended for children. (Original) Wer etwas für die Kohlezeit übrig hat, sollte hierhin. Die Austellung ist beeindruckend, aber viel spannender sind die Geschichten der alten Bergleute. Sehr empfehlenswert für Kinder.
