Experience Overview:

"alles Kohle"-tour

Gemeinsam mit unserem erfahrenen Guide starten wir am Gelände der stillgelegten Zeche Gneisenau in Richtung Lünen. Dabei durchqueren wir die ursprüngliche zur Zeche gehörende, ab 1903 errichtete, Müsersiedlung sowie die Woldenmey-Siedlung. In Lünen geht es weiter durch die Kolonien „Oberbecker“ und „Ziethenstraße“ zum 1925 in Betrieb genommenen Preußenhafen am Datteln-Hamm-Kanal.
Über Schloss Schwansbell mit seiner lebhaften Geschichte und dem 1996 im Rahmen der Landesgartenschau angelegten Seepark Lünen, geht es vorbei an der Halde, dem Verwaltungsgebäude, dem Casino – seit 1987 Bürgerhaus – sowie der Zechensiedlung „Horstmar“, der schon 1929 stillgelegten Zeche Preußen II.

Wir setzen unsere Tour fort Richtung Lanstrop. Sehen die Wasserburg Haus Wenge, den Wasserturm Lanstroper Ei mit stählernem K-Fachwerk – seit 1981 Baudenkmal der Stadt Dortmund – und schließlich den Luftschacht Rote Fuhr, ein Wetterschacht in den Jahren 1925 bis 1927 der Schachtanlage Preußen II.
