Coal Mine Beringen Limburg Belgium

              Beringen, province of Limburg.
In 1906 the Beringen-Koersel concession was granted (4950 ha). A year later, the SA Charbonnages de Beeringen was founded. Production started in 1922. Coal was mined on floors -727, -789 and -850 meters. In 1948, 6796 miners worked in Beringen. In 1954 the concession was increased to 5271 ha. Two years later, Beringen achieved an annual production of 886000 tons. From 1959 onwards, part of the Ham-Kwaadmechelen concession was also exploited (no coal mine ever came into production here). During the following years, Beringen remained one of the most important Belgian coal mines. On October 28, 1989, the mine was closed as the penultimate mine in the Netherlands. Total production was just over 79 million tonnes.
The majority of the buildings have been preserved and are part of the Mining Museum. There are guided tours of the buildings that still exist. Under the name B-mine, shops, homes, swimming pools, restaurants, etc. appeared. on the mining sites. The slag heaps have also been preserved and have a recreational function.
