Graf Bismarck colliery !

This picture was taken because of the anniversary of the appentices' workshop's leader. In the photo you can see the colliery's former apprentices and instructors. In the background the Malakoff tower (on the right) and two shaft towers of Germany style can be seen.

Annotation: Malakoff towers are shaft towers made of bricks, built in order to stand the heavy powers caused by hoisting. The name is deducted from the Fort Malakoff near St. Petersburg because of the same view.

For these pictures many thanks to Wolfgang Schubert. Has has a please to you all: After working at the Minister Achenbach colliery in Luenen (Germany) for a very long time, the miners left to all directions when the colliery was closed. Wolfgang was very happy if old companions from this colliery would contact him after reading this. Please do so !
