Hessisches Braunkohle Bergbaumuseum

The Hessisches Braunkohle Bergbaumuseum (Hessian Brown Coal Mining Museum) in Borken, Hesse, documents the history of lignite mining in the region. Exhibits showcase the tools, machinery, and working conditions of miners from the 19th and 20th centuries, tracing the rise and decline of this once-important local industry through an extensive collection of mining artefacts and historical records.
