Gottfried,The houses were owned by the mine workers, most of those villages nearby the collieries started from scratch with them. They were all self made, low standard accommodation according to the poor wages of a miner. Before the collieries started the people of these valleys rather wanted to live up on the hills, working at the farm with the animals. Even the most populated towns nowadays over here at these valleys, were nothing more than fields flooded by the river every winter at the begining of 20th century.
