Under the slogan "On the marks of Limestone of Rumelange", the passionate researcher of the Minett region, Claude Hermes, introduced the participants of our MNM “Stammdësch” to the history and development of the lime industry of Rumelange. From the beginnings around 1807 to the closure of the Berens industrial plant around 1960, various aspects of this local industry were illuminated by photos, family trees, articles from the period and documents.

The MNM Board of Directors had invited the entire staff to a good meal and a drink in a nice atmosphere for the end of the year 2023.

There was a little more going on in our mine: The Crawler Crew Luxembourg visited us with 70 people on Saturday, 11 November 2023.

The electric locomotive of our mine train does not need winter tires, but the wheels must be checked regularly. For this work, carried out by the company "Schöma" Diepholz (D), the 18-ton machine has been lifted with an impressive crane these days.

As a thank you for their commitment, the Board of Directors has invited all volunteers, employees, guides, train drivers and those who have supported the museum to a graduation party of the high season 2023. Together one celebrated a little with a good meal and a nice atmosphere.

50 years ago, they helped to set up a first small mining museum in Rumelange: the miners Nic Ronconi, Mett Welter, Mett Kockelmann and Wendel Coulon It was the beginning of a success story.

Our most modern exhibit, the prototype of the computer-controlled drill Jumbo (1987) built by the company Montabert, can be seen during a guided tour mine & train. For the booking and the tickets please visite the calendar of events on this website.

They do a valuable work in the background almost every day: here a part of the cleaning team of the CIGL-Rumelange. A big thank you to them. -

Images from ancient times: the miner Isidore Baltes called Philippe (in the white jersey) with a mate in a French tunnel. The photos come from his son, Manuel Baltes. A big thank you for that.
