Lothringen 3 shaft !

 

Shaft 3 of former Lothringen colliery !


This photo shows you the former shaft 3 of Lothringen colliery in Bochum (Germany), today being integrated into a car park. When it was in use, the shaft led down to -813 metres (data from the book of J. Huske, "Die Steinkohlenzechen im Ruhrrevier"). Isn't it impressioning to imagine that in earlier times lots of miners started their shift in this place ?
