The waterfall colliery was a hard coal mine in what is now the Bergerhausen district of Essen . It was named after the seam waterfall , where it probably struck gold on coal.
history
Mentioned in a document since 1575, the waterfall colliery is one of the oldest collieries in the Ruhr area and therefore also in what is now the city of Essen. In 1748 there was an official guess . The colliery has had a tunnel since the turn of the century around 1800. In 1806, the colliery consolidated with the neighboring Sonnenschein colliery , whose facilities were taken over by the nearby artwork colliery after it was closed in 1821 .
Current condition
Today there is nothing left at the site of the waterfall colliery, which was on the Bergerhausen side in the northern St. Annental valley.
