Germany's hard coal mines produced 41.3Mt in 1998, 39.2Mt in 1999, 33.3Mt in 2000 and 27.1Mt in 2001. By 2006, their combined output had fallen to 20.7Mt. Production costs are three or four times the world average, Ruhr coal costing an average of around $120/t.

The geothermal re-use of mining facilities is an exciting regional approach which contributes to the implementation of the Energiewende. For example, former mines can be equipped with closed loop heat exchangers and former supply lines can be converted into geothermal probes. A further variant is the direct and indirect utilisation of mine water.

Since the end of 2018, the hard coal industry in Germany is history, but residual effects of deep coal mining as well as hazards in the range of surface-near mining, which was abandoned many decades ago, are still to be expected. In this regard, the prediction of surface uplifts due to mine water rebound is prominent as a present research field.

Coal contributed substantially Germany's history. A true strategic mineral, it powered the wars of the early 20th century and, after defeat, it helped re-establish the country as an economic powerhouse. Germany decided to end underground hard coal mining in 2007. At that time about 33,000 miners and other staff were working in the mines.
