Důl Jeremenko Mill
Marshal Jeremy's mine is one of the important remains of Ostrava's upper tradition. In 1891, the coal mine in Vítkovice was founded by a rental company Vítkovice stone coal mines as the New Pit. The decision to build the mining site here was based on knowledge gained from previous mining in the pits of Antonín, Solomon, Carolina and Deep. It has been shown that coal compounds continue from Moravia Ostrava towards Vítkovice south.
The building of the complex was created according to local customs, like the surrounding Nové Vítkovice. Objects built from a solid wall are a spatial medium
The mine was built gradually. The wind pit was started in 1891 and dug into 1896 when it reached 312,5 metres. The mining pit was established in 1892 and it was also dug up to 1896, reaching 386 metres. After confirming the coal findings, the mine received the first mining measure on 30 June 1895. Between 1914 and 1919 the mining pit was further deepened to 699.6 metres. The extensive reconstruction took place in 1920 and 1929, when they reached final depth: the mine pit 819 meters and wind pit 2 reached 590.4 meters. The third pit started in 1943 and was dug until 1966 when the depth of 1062 meters was reached. Above the pit is a piping tower with a machine room in her head.
The mine carries its history in the title. In 1895 after the end of the lease with stал part of Vítkovsky's mining and metallurgical mining and was renamed Louis, according to the owner of the company. During World War II his name was Steinböck and he belonged to the Nazi group Hermann Göring Werke. After the war he returned to the name Louis, but in 1946 he was nationalized and renamed Mine General Jeremenko. In 1970 the name was modified to the Mine by Marshal Yeremenko, under which we know him today.
The mining in the mine, Marshal Jeremy, ended January 1, 1993. Today, the mine is a protected cultural monument of the Czech Republic, which includes a historic blacksmith's shop, an original lifting tower and a new hammer tower with a pit building. Since 1997, it has been supplying mining water from the Ostrava and Petřvald pelvis. Since 2002, it has been managed by the State firm Diamo. The area is therefore not a museum of the past, but a living part of the infrastructure providing drainage of deep-sea mining.

Welcome to an important historical place in the heart of Ostrava - Důl Jeremenko. You are standing on a site that was once the living heart of coal mining and now represents a unique part of local history and culture. Under your feet is a plot that reveals traces of the past, while in the surroundings you enjoy a view of the modern architecture of Ostrava.
Důl Jeremenko was founded in 1891 as a New Pit. This mine has gradually become a key element in coal mining, which was necessary for the development of that time. The development of the mine was linked to increasing demand for energy and materials during the period of industrialisation. Originally named Louis Mine, the mine was built in Vítkovice, which became the center of mining activities.
Let's take a closer look at the architectural structure of this place. Although specific details about the architect are not known, it is clear that the mine was designed with regard to functionality and efficiency. The historical site includes, for example, the original lifting force, which by its construction resembles the time when coal mining was at the top. Remember the robustness and strength that symbolizes these structures.
The mine has undergone several changes in the name during its history - from Mine Louis to Mine Steinböck, General Yeremenko, to Marshal Yeremenko. Each of these changes is linked to the key personalities and events of that time. For example, Louis Rothschild was one of the pioneers in mining, whose name was the mine in the early 20th century.
The interesting thing about this place is the depth of the third pit, which was deep until 1966, when it reached the astonishing 1062 meters. This depth shows the ambitious industrial spirit of the period then and the technical capabilities which enabled such an important design.
Now that you've looked at the history and architecture of this place, I invite you to further explore. Důl Jeremenko is not only a monument to the past, but also a part of today's life of the city that has developed around it. During your walk enjoy the peace and atmosphere of this place, which reminds you of the rich history of Ostrava.
Thank you for your attention and interest in the important cultural monuments of our country. I hope your visit to the mine of Yermenko was interesting to you and inspired further discoveries. Enjoy your travel around the historical places of the Czech Republic!

Imagine going back 135 years to a small village where many people lived and worked in different places. One of them was this little mill that stood by the creek and used its water to drive the water wheels.
It was like in a game where the kids were having fun and playing around the mill while their parents were working or doing chores. The mill was an important place for the village because people were getting bread flour from it. To get to him, they had to go through narrow roads and cross the creek.

Seasonal recommendations
In spring, industrial architecture awakens along with the surrounding greenery, creating an interesting contrast between grey concrete and fresh nature. Soft spring light is ideal for shooting details of machines and structures. We recommend to dress in layered clothes because the area can still be cold, and plan a visit in the morning when the air is the cleanest.
The summer season brings a sharp sun that highlights the texture of metal elements and creates deep shadows. The atmosphere is full of energy and surrounding parks offer a pleasant shade. Due to the largest number of visitors in the season, it is best to come right at the opening. Don't forget light, breathable clothes and plenty of fluids.
Autumn covers the memory with fog and golden leaves, which gives the whole place a melancholy and mysterious touch. Industrial buildings in this light look more monumental and peaceful. The practical recommendation is shoes with waterproof soles for wet roads and a warm sweater for cooler afternoons.
In winter, the mine operates in a dense and quiet calm, while the freezing air and any snow layer highlight the geometry of buildings. The contrast of white snow and dark industrial background is fascinating. It is necessary to wear warm thermal linens and a fat coat. Before travelling, check the shortened opening hours typical of this time.
