In the listed industrial buildings of a former coal mine, you can immerse yourself in the fascinating world of Saxony's ‘black diamonds’ after the reopening in January 2025. Because the history of Saxony's coal mining industry is legendary, surprising, often unknown, characterised by people, brought prosperity and is essential to Saxony's development. Discover the impressive stories and fates behind this important branch of industry. Find out where and how hard coal was created, how people struggled to extract it and how it was used. Be inspired by the variety of unique exhibits that bring to life not only the technical achievements, but also the life and culture of the people in and around the mining industry.
A modern interactive exhibition, exciting guided tours through the demonstration mine and authentic insights into the life of the miners await you at KohleWelt.
