In the 19th century, while drillings were being carried out all over the Saarland, a still unexploited area led to the discovery of an important coal deposit. Two shafts were dug, and then two more at the beginning of the 20th century.
The narrowness of the site made the management consider a new mining process, which will lead to the construction of a monumental tower of a new type equipped with two AEG mining machines. After the exhaustion of the deposits, the extraction gradually stopped.
