The Rodolphe Mine is one of the few remaining potash mining sites in Alsace. It still retains some of its original buildings, its two headframes, and two winding engines restored by members of the Rodolphe Group.
The Rodolphe Mine is highly visible in the landscape. It is also located in a rapidly developing tourist area, with the Ecomuseum (which spearheaded its rescue in 1987) and the Little Prince Park. Industrial tourism has a significant role to play here. The Rodolphe Mine is also a powerful memorial site, as it was the location of the worst potash mining disaster in Alsace, which claimed 25 lives on July 23, 1940.
