This is what the group expects

Solving tasks together, taking responsibility and experiencing mining from one's own perspective.

The first day of work underground begins: As aspiring miners, the participants learn about tools, machines and work processes and together master the challenges of everyday historical mining life.

At authentic locations within the Rammelsberg World Heritage Site, they solve practical tasks, work in teams, and take on responsibility – just like the miners of old. Some participants even become part of the mine rescue team and take care of safety and rescue underground.

Those who successfully complete the first day of training receive the traditional miner's certificate at the end – a special memento of an extraordinary learning experience.

Suitable workshop

Historical knowledge becomes tangible through personal action and shared experience.
