Because it is surrounded by collieries, a pit railway and spoil tips the Schüngelberg housing estate is immediately identifiable as a coal miners’ settlement. It comprises a variety of building styles and concepts used during the long history of miners’ housing needs, and is generally regarded as one of the major success stories of the Emscher Park International Building Exhibition (IBA) and a model of how to modernise old building substances and integrate them into a remarkable new housing project.
