Jankowice Coal Mine

Silesia

The Donnersmarcks family built it in Rybnik in 1913–1915, and mining started there in 1916. In 1944, labour camp No. 44 was established there. In 1950, 29 miners were killed due to a methane explosion. Its liquidation lasted many years; now, it belongs to the combined ROW Coal Mine.
