Lonely Planet review for Zollern II/IV Coal Mine
The Zollern II/IV Coal Mine was considered a 'model mine' when operation began in 1902. It boasted state-of-the-art technology and fantastic architecture, including an art nouveau machine hall and a castle-like administration building adorned with gables and onion-domed towers. An innovative exhibit documents the harsh realities of life as a miner, with plenty of interactive and child-oriented programs. To get here, take the U47 from Hauptbahnhof to Dortmund-Huckarde Bushof, then bus 462 direction Dortmund-Marten to Industriemuseum Zollern.
