How can the site contribute to the adaptable city?
The Auguste Victoria Colliery Shaft 3/7 in Marl-Hamm lies on the northern fringe of the Ruhr District. With about 3000 employees and an annual production of almost three million tonnes of high-quality anthracite coal with an underground tunnel system of 99 km, it is currently still in operation, but scheduled for closure in 2015. The term “Adaptable City” is a key concept for urban development of the future and must be interpreted site-specifically at each location. Adaptation to fundamental changes in terms of climate protection, energy efficiency, demographic development, new research tasks, modified design specifications and meaningful flexibility in re- and new construction, etc. calls for completely new approaches.
City strategy
The Auguste Victoria site must be considered in the wider context of conflicting uses, i.e. the proximity of the Chemical Park situated to the west, the mine heaps and river port to the north as well as the smallscale residential development to the east. At the same time a development concept is to be prepared for the mine site itself that highlights the specific character of the site, strengthens existing potential and sets it in relation to the surrounding area. The objective is to prepare a multitude of ideas at an early stage – some of them by all means unconventional – to be put up for discussion when the planning process gets under way in the year of closure 2015.
Site definition
The broader surroundings of the Auguste Victoria Colliery are characterised by Marl Chemical Park, the coal port (originally for supplying BASF) on the Wesel-Dattel Canal, two large mine heaps, residential neighbourhoods and the autobahn. Typical of Münsterland, the nearby countryside consists of flat meadow and pasture landscape, interrupted by hedges and copses. The Auguste Victoria Colliery started operation in 1905 with Shaft 1. The area has a scatter of buildings from a number of decades that give the site its character. Solely the so called Kohlenmischhalle (coal merging hall) in the centre of the site is worth preserving – as scientific depot for heavy mining machines and for research purposes.
Future of the site in relation to the site family and to Adaptability
The colliery is the region’s second largest employer and recognised in particular as an important apprenticing company and economic power in the surrounding region. Marl Town Council and RAG have agreed on a new use for Auguste Victoria colliery 3/7 by business and industry., to compensate for the loss of jobs after the closure of the mine. The Chemical Park in the immediate proximity is one of the largest employers in the region. The future use of the mining area after the closure must in no case imply any restriction for the Chemical Park. Thus an industrial or commercial use must be prioritised. The well connected area (port, railway, autobahn) provides good conditions for a development as an industrial estate. The site offers an opportunity to develop ideas as to how industry and commerce might look in accordance with the parameters of sustainability, conservation of resources, energy efficiency and flexibility as well as fast adaptability to new uses. Today the above-named quality requirements are the universal features of modern planning in the residential, office and real estate sector as defined by consensus, but have hitherto not been applied to newer commercial and industrial areas. The location invites open thinking and represents a creative challenge. Under the chosen approach, the question will be how new commercial and industrial uses that cannot presently be determined in detail, may look in future. What are the creative, functional and programmatic demands on an industrial site in the 21st century?

The concrete tower is the uptake shaft for the coal. The steel shaft (3) is used to transport material. Shaft 8, north of the Wesel Datteln canal is used for personnel.
Der Betonturm ist Ausziehschacht für die Kohle. Der Stahlschacht dient dem Materialtransport. Schacht 8 nördlich des Wesel-Datteln-Kanals dient der Pesonenbeförderung.
Why does every parcel in the chemical park need rail access? Is an analogous structure also needed for the mine lot? Warum benötigt der Chemiepark zu jeder Parzelle einen Schienenanschluss? Ist analog eine gleiche Struktur auf dem Zechengelände gewünscht?
Chemicals are loaded directly into tanker cars. There are stringent safety measures governing the transfer. On the plot, one rail connection will probably be sufficient, in the harbour area, and possibly one on one of the sub-plots.
Chemikalien werden direkt in die entsprechenden Tanks gefüllt. Mit hohen Sicherheitsanforderung an die Befüllung. Auf der Fläche reicht eher ein Anschlussgleis im Bereich des Hafens und ggf. auf einer der Teilflächen.

Yes, the coal mixture hall is it the biggest rectangular shape in the north part of subarea 1.
Can we demolish the existing buildings inside the project site or reuse them for other functions or should we mantain them (a part from the Coal Mixture Hall)?
Depending from the overall concept existing buildings could be demolished or partly maintained (depending from their status and market demand).
What kind of contamination is in the ground? Is it dangerous both for humans and vegetations? Does it affect the growth and the quality of trees and vegetables?
The ground will be prepared in such a way that - even if it is contaminated now - there will be no danger of contamination in the future.The subsoil is a non-homogeneous mix of rubble – natural soils – construction waste and dredge soil – that is densely compressed in some parts.So it will need to be treated in order to be re-planted.

Comment créer une dynamique positive à partir d'une situation difficile ? De nombreux sites doivent faire face à des situations urbaines difficiles, relevant de problèmes de différentes formes : économique, environnementale et urbaine, ou encore de valeurs. Confrontés à ces difficultés, ces sites constituent pourtant des terrains propices à de nouvelles dynamiques, s’appuyant sur des scénarios de partage ainsi que sur la régénération des outils de la discipline urbano-architecturale.
