A few years ago I took part in a mountain bike ride that went through this tunnel. The organizers had a very good idea, at regular intervals there was a character disguised with a white cape holding a torch, hello chills. A very good memory!!

The entrance to the Heintzenberg mine was renovated in the mid-2010s. At that time, the square in front of the mine got its current name: Place Pierre Ponath. Ponath was a member of the Resistance who lost his life hiding two deserters in 1944. In 1884, mining activities began at this location. Until the end of the First World War, the Heintzenberg mine was operated by the Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks Aktien Gesellschaft. After the end of the German Customs Union, and until its acquisition by ARBED, the Société Métallurgique des Terres-Rouges continued to operate the concession. The Heintzenberg mine was not spared from the slow decline in minette production in the second half of the 20th century. Production there ceased in the 1960s. Today, in addition to the entrance to the mining gallery, the old power station, which has housed a restaurant since 2005, recalls the industrial past of the site.
