    Mainly the accident is commemorated here in October 1963, when several miners were buried in a water ingress. 29 pals died. Eleven were located by knocking signals in November after several days of search drilling and were later rescued. The event was broadcast live on television and went down in history as the "Miracle of Lengede". It was later even made into a film.
