In this picture the end of a gateroad can be
seen. Most mining areas are situated between two gateroads (one used for the
supply of different materials und the other for the haulege of coal). This
picture shows one of these gateroads with the entrance to the steep mining
area in the middle. The photo was taken at Minister Stein colliery in
Dortmund-Eving (Germany) in the mid 1950s.
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 !
