Bockradener Graben

The most striking sign of Bockraden is the aforementioned Bockradener Graben, a geological depression with a width of about 2 km that divides the Schafberg massif into two parts. This valley incision rises to the south and in the extreme south almost reaches the level of the Schafberg and the Dickenberg (Oberbockraden). This southern section is called Glücksburg or Glücksberg . The steep road of the same name leads in a few curves into the valley towards Ibbenbüren. The northern flat part of the trench, which is almost at the level of the surroundings, is called Niederbockraden.

Mining

Many relics point to the earlier coal mining in Bockraden. The Beustschacht, a former shaft that mined here in the 19th century, is an important relic of this.

In the Bockradener Graben is the Bockradener Schacht, which belongs to the Ibbenbüren mine . It is primarily used to ventilate the pit. In Bockraden, anthracite coal was mined at great depths in seams 53 and 54 between 2011 and 2018 .
