FACILITY: Shaft 1, Fürst Leopold colliery
Photo taken: May 2004 on Canon S40
Changes since: None known of

Operator: DSK Deutsche Steinkohle
Location: Dorsten, Germany
Status: Conveyance ceased in 2001. Since 1998, joint operation named "Bergwerk Lippe" with Westerholt colliery, Gelsenkirchen: only secondary task remain at this site. The coal processing plant you can see on the Shaft 1 photo has been in operation 1983 - 2001. There are plans to tear down the headgears and to preserve the processing plant as a museum. This would be the only museum of its kind, but I think it is unlikely to happen.
