The Junge Hermann colliery was a hard coal mine in Bochum-Laer . The mine was also known as the Zeche Junge Hermann . Although the mine has a history of over 90 years, very little is reported about it. The colliery was located between today's B 226 and Alte Wittener Strasse at the height of Laerfeldstrasse. Today there is a parking lot of the former Opel plant in Bochum on the pit field of the colliery.
