The Vohwinkel colliery (also known as the Vohwinkel mine ) is a former brown coal mine in what is now the Wuppertal district of Vohwinkel .
As in the Sonntagskind colliery, which also existed in the area of the Vohwinkel depression , lignite was mined here , but the Vohwinkel colliery was of less importance. The location of the mine is inexactly described, its location is described as "west of Thurn ". So it was north of the eastern end of Kaiserstrasse and south of the Sonnborn industrial park (= residential area Industriestrasse ).
However, this is not a regular seam , but allochthonous beds that were washed up in the trough-shaped depressions of the strongly fissured mass limestone surface. These camps are under- and overlaid by tertiary layers.

- ↑ Heimes calls the mine "Grube". It is not clear from the source whether it is an underground mine like Zeche Sonntagskind or an above-ground mine. However, he describes both lignite mines as pits in one paragraph, so that this can be interpreted to mean that both were underground mines.
