In 1988 the headframes at shafts III and IV were demolished and the shafts filled. In 2010 the city of Saarbrücken acquired the site with the preserved daytime facilities from RAG and had the majority of the former daytime facilities of the Jägersfreude mine demolished. A workshop, the laundrette, the colliery house, the compressor building and the hoisting machine building have been preserved.

Mozartstrasse location	Memorial at the Herrensohr cemetery for the victims of the mining accidents of 1885 (Camphausen pit) and 1886 (Dudweiler pit)	The memorial to the Herrensohrer mine victims from 1885 and 1886 lists the names of the victims on four panels in a square base with triangular gables. An obelisk rises on it. The memorial stands in a semicircular hall of honor with flower beds.
Schulstrasse 93 location	Mozart School	The Mozart School was built in 1909/10 by the architect Liebig. The three-storey plastered building rises above a rusted basement. The two corners of the building are emphasized by risalits towards the schoolyard. Striking are the gables, which extend as tail gables into the roof, which is set back at this point and burst the eaves in the process. The building is structured with color-contrasting pilaster strips. The ten window axes are divided into four axes each in the central part and one axis each in the risalits. A roof turret sits on the hipped roof.
Hauptstrasse 83 location	Hunters Joy School	The eaves, two-story plastered building was built by the architect Liebig around 1920/25. The three-wing property consists of a core structure and two lower side wings. To the rear, the central building has a semicircular opening that stands on a recessed sandstone base. The street side is dominated by two corner projections with sandstone facing and structured by pilaster strips and glare fields. An octagonal ridge turret with a conical roof sits centrally on the hipped roof. The building was originally built as a primary school and today houses the Catholic Technical School for Social Education.

Alte Grube Velsen location	Ensemble Grube Velsen	In the course of the expansion of the Geislautern mine, the Rossel shaft was sunk in 1899 and a new mine was founded. In 1902 another shaft was sunk with the Ludwigsschacht. Between 1913 and 1917, the daytime facility was expanded and the Gustav II shaft was added. After the war, the French mine administration sunk the Westschacht (from 1962 the Ludweiler mine) in 1951. In 1965 the mine lost its independence and became part of the Warndt composite mine. The Gustav II shaft served as a weather and cableway shaft for the Warndt mine until 2005 and has since been partially filled.
		Alte Grube Velsen, horse stable (part of the ensemble): The simple stable was built around 1915 and is an elongated single-storey building with a gable roof next to the gatehouse. In the early days of the mine it served as a shelter for the pit horses and was later used as a garage.
		Alte Grube Velsen 1, gatehouse (part of the ensemble): The former gatehouse of the mine was built in 1915 and later used as a coffee kitchen. It rises as a single-storey plastered building with partial sandstone facing on the front. Sandstone pilaster strips structure the building on the front. On the west and the back there are small dormitories.
		Alte Grube Velsen, colliery house of the Velsen mine with laundry and reading room (individual monument): The colliery house with the two-storey administration wing was built between 1908 and 1911. The building has an elaborately designed central portal with a tower with a pyramid roof protruding from the facade. A plastered upper floor follows the ground floor made of open sandstones with arched windows. At the side, after short, single-storey intermediate buildings, the washrooms are connected in the northwest and the reading room with large segmental arched windows on the narrow sides in the southeast.
		Alte Grube Velsen, winding machine house at the Gustav I shaft, around 1915 (part of the ensemble): The building made of light-colored sandstone was erected around 1915 by the Prussian mining authorities. Red sandstone pilaster strips structure the building and separate the five window axes with high arched windows. A gable roof completes the structure.
		Old Velsen mine, hoisting machine house at the Gustav II shaft with equipment (individual monument): The hoisting machine house was built around 1915. The sandstone building is structured by pilaster strips and rises above a high basement level with a raised wall. High arched windows illuminate the interior. It still houses the original twin steam engine of the Zweibrücker Dingler-Werke from 1916/17, which is still functional today.
		Old Velsen pit, headframe at the Gustav II shaft (individual monument): The headframe was built in 1915 as a German strut frame and reinforced in 1936.
Fenner Strasse location	Ensemble of the Delbrück mine	In 1899 the first shaft of the Delbrück plant was started in Klarenthal as a weather shaft for the Luisenthal mine. A second shaft was added in 1907. After the end of production, the system was expanded to ventilate the Luisenthal mine at the end of the 1980s and is now the central location for mine gas extraction.
		Fenner Straße, machine center of the Delbrück mine with equipment (individual monument): The machine center is an elongated brick hall with arched windows. The shafts of two diffusers protrude high from the roof. The mechanical equipment includes two Rateau fans from Schüchtermann & Kremer (Dortmund) from 1904. These are the oldest surviving pit fans in Saar mining. The equipment also includes two turbo compressors from AEG from 1937 and 1939.
		Fenner Straße 100, headframe at shaft II (individual monument): The headframe was built in 1908 by the Metz company Charron as a German strut frame in half-timbered construction and is therefore one of the oldest preserved headframes in Saarland. In 1938/39 the 34 m high scaffolding was rebuilt by the company Seibert from Saarbrücken.
		Fenner Straße, hoisting machine house at Shaft II (individual monument): The hoisting machine house at Shaft II was built around 1908 as a brick building on a high sandstone base with arched windows and a structure of pilaster strips and arched friezes. The hoisting machine dates from 1949 and was supplied by the Dingler-Werke Zweibrücken.
Fenner Straße 129, hall 11, parcel 1/23 location	Catholic Church of St. Antonius	The Antoniuskirche was built between 1963 and 1965 on a diamond-shaped floor plan based on designs by the architect Konrad Schmitz. The walls of the church form irregular trapezoidal shapes made of concrete, which are broken up by a regular grid of small windows. The highest point of the copper roof is the rear corner of the choir, the opposite corner of the building is slightly lower. The two corners in the north and south are drawn even deeper. A simple concrete campanile serves as the bell tower. Three struts form a base and thus support a bell chamber.
Warndtstrasse 68 location	Workers house	Built in 1827
Warndtstrasse 106 location	Farmhouse	Built in 1811
Friedrichstrasse 18 location	Residential building with business section (individual monument)	The house was built in 1787 by the jug baker Johann Daniel Braun and in 1799 an economic part was added.

At the steel hammer location	Ensemble Am Stahlhammer	In 1752, Pierre Goudy founded a steel works on Scheidterbach. The small workers' settlement that arose around the plant was initially named “Gouffontaine” after Gouvy's hometown, and later “Eisenhammer”. In addition to the manor house, two half-timbered workers' houses have been preserved from the early days.
		Am Stahlhammer 38/40, Goffontaine mansion (individual monument): The two-story mansion was built around 1755 and expanded in 1833. Due to the facade cladding, the building is hardly recognizable as a baroque building . Only the hipped roof still indicates when it was built.
		Am Stahlhammer 47, workers' house, before 1833 (part of the ensemble)
		Am Stahlhammer 49, workers' house of the Stahlhammer, before 1833 (part of the ensemble)

Scheidt

location	designation	description	image
Bahnhofstrasse 1a location	Farm building of the Scheidter mill	Built in 1760 and rebuilt and supplemented again and again until 1822. The baroque building has two storeys and is completed by a mansard hipped roof. Irregularly distributed doors lead into the windowless building.
Scheidterbergstrasse 5 location	Evangelical Church Scheidt	After a previous building was destroyed in the Thirty Years War, a baroque nave was built in 1737/38. The Gothic choir of the hall church was preserved. Instead of a bell tower, a wooden frame carried the bell. In 1869/70 a tower made of quarry stones in the neo-Romanesque style was built on the north side. The plans came from the architect Karl Memminger. The old choir was demolished and the tower was placed on top of the new chancel and sacristy. In 1957/58 the nave was extended by an acute-angled extension according to plans by Rudolf Krüger. The round windows of the extension were designed by György Lehoczky .
