Once Europe's largest coal mine (1950's).

The Staatsmijn Emma was a Dutch coal mine located in Treebeek (now part of Brunssum) and Hoensbroek (now part of Heerlen). The mine was in operation from 1911 till 1973.

The second-largest mine in the Netherlands, it had the highest production of all Dutch mines at 109 megatonnes (120,000,000 short tons).

The deepest shaft was 980 metres (ca. 3,215 ft) deep, although after integration with Staatsmijn Hendrik the deepest shaft was 1,058 metres (ca. 3,471 ft) deep.
