Schacht III cultural center

The Schacht III cultural center is located in the wash house of the former Werne 3 mine in Rünthe , today a district of Bergkamen . It is used as a multifunctional meeting center. The hall with 800 seats is the largest event room in Bergkamen.

Shaft 3 of the Werne colliery started mining in 1915. It was shut down in 1930 and used again for rope rides from 1946, before it was abandoned again in 1960 and until 2000 was only used for ventilation and dewatering for neighboring mines. The headframe was demolished in the 1980s, and the wash house renovated and rebuilt.
