Zeche Neu-Iserlohn Schachtanlage 1/3

As you stand here on the border between Bochum and Dortmund, you're at the site of the former Zeche Neu-Iserlohn Shaft Complex 1/3, once a prominent coal mine. It was originally named Zeche Vereinigte Münsterland before being renamed to its current name, serving as a testament to the area's industrial past. Look around; you're standing just north of the marl boundary that separates the districts of Langendreer, Lütgendortmund, and Somborn. About 814 meters to the south, you might catch sight of the Zeche Siebenplaneten, another monument honoring the region's coal mining heritage. This site stands as a reminder of the era when coal mining was at the heart of life and work in this area.
