Built in 1904 as a symbol of the region's industrial strength, the Zollern II/IV coal mine is the first of Germany's industrial monuments to have gained international significance. The German Health and Safety at Work Exhibition is a fascinating journey into the world of work – past, present and future. The Westphalian School Museum documents the history of the region's schools.Zollern II/IV coal mine
The colliery's imposing architecture - onion-shaped towers, magnificent steel framework, Art Nouveau and brick Gothic elements - earned it the nickname "the castle of work". There is a permanent exhibition with plenty of interesting and little-known facts not just about the harsh reality of the miners' day-to-day life but also their life away from the coalface.DASA – German Health and Safety at Work Exhibition at the Federal Institute for Occupational Health and Safety

It challenges all the senses and explores the working conditions of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
