  Mining in Limburg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The biggest mine in the Limburg coal basin, and the biggest in Europe, was the Maurits state mine, which was the last to be taken into operation, in 1926, and the first to be closed down, less than forty years later.
By the time the mines were closed down, more than ten times as many people lived there, and it was one of the most densely populated parts of The Netherlands, second only to the Randstad, the urban agglomoration in the western part of the country.
Mine management began to build houses for their workforce at an early stage, so that mineworker 'colonies' arose, such as that at Lutterade near Geleen.

Mining communities are often close-knit with a strong sense of community spirit and religious faith.
All forms of mining are likely to generate areas where coal is stacked and where the coal has significant sulfur content, such coal heaps generate highly acidic metal rich drainage when exposed to normal rainfall.

Although this thesis concentrates on the mines in the Dutch part of Limburg it might be appropriate to note that most mines in Belgian Limburg are accessible from the plateau by means of a "graet", a winding staircase excavated in the overburden.

 History (from mining) --  Encyclopædia Britannica
Apparently, the first mineral used was flint, which, owing to its concoidal fracturing pattern, could be broken into sharp-edged pieces that were useful as scrapers, knives, and arrowheads.
The various methods of mining a coal seam can be classified under two headings, surface mining and underground mining.
Surface and underground coal mining are broad activities that incorporate numerous variations in equipment and methods, and the choice of which method to use in extracting a coal seam depends on many technological, economic, and social factors.

 Lignite mining   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Lignite mining took place around the villages Eijgelshoven en Hoensbroek, as well as north of Geleen, since approximately 1915 by means of opencast mining (ENGELEN, 1989).
The mined reserves are located on the north-western edge of the large lignite deposits of the German Rheinland, west of Cologne (VAN ROOIJEN, 1989).
However, the gigantic lignite mines of RWE daughter Rheinbraun AG in Germany, who produces yearly over 90.000.000 tonnes of lignite from the same geological basin in the area between Cologne and Aachen, are important for the German economy (RWE homepage, and photographs lignite mining in Germany).

 The Province of Limburg (NL)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Limburg is centrally located on the European map, right at the heart of Europe's Internal Market and surrounded by major urban centres such as Dusseldorf/Cologne, Amsterdam/Rotterdam and Brussels/Antwerp.
Limburg is deliberately seeking to link up with the new Europe; the keyword in its bid is internationalization, a policy it began actively to pursue in the seventies and eighties with a view to restructuring the provincial economy.
This was needed due to the mono-effect of industrial mining in the border area and the gradual closing down of the mining industry at that time.

However, a greater proportion of the people of Belgium live in cities, and are engaged in mining and industrial occupations generally; two of the classes within which illegitimate births are very frequent, namely, domestic servants and factory operatives, are more numerous proportionally; and the influence of bad literature and foreign associations is much more prominent.
During the decade of 1886-1896 the Catholic cantons of Switzerland had a rate of illegitimacy of 3 per cent, while the rate for the entire country was 4.72 per cent.
In 1896 the rate in the Catholic provinces of North Brabant and Limburg in Holland was 2.8 and 2.20, respectively, but 3 for the whole of that country.

However, it is a proposal opposed by the global mining industry lobby group, the International Council on Mines and Metals (ICMM), which represents companies including Mitsubishi, Nippon Mining, Sumitomo, BHP-Billiton and Rio Tinto.
Noting government and mining industry opposition to prior informed consent, World Bank staff reviewing Salim's review preferred only that additional work be done ''expanding awareness of the human rights dimension of World Bank Group policies''.
Despite this, she is hopeful that the global community campaign that resulted in Salim's strong recommendations will continue to build and blunt the mining industry lobbying campaign.

Abstract: The interpretation of data mining results is an important step in the KDD process.
To realize this view, it suffices to use a structured representation of the data mining results, and to store these results together with the data themselves.

South Limburg will always be their home and - in most cases - Roda JC is their team.
Although fans of MVV, from the mundane provincial capital of Maastricht, pronounce those words condescendingly, Roda JC is without any doubt Limburg's number one, now VVV and MVV are in the First Division and Fortuna Sittard seems to be stuck in the lower regions of the Eredivisie table.
A history of Roda is incomplete without his name: Eugène Hanssen, long-time Roda captain during the 1980s and early 1990s and the working-class hero of Limburg's 'mining district'.

According to the authorities Limburg entrepreneurs were to be blamed as they persisted in paying their workers in overvalued foreign coin.
But at the beginning of the 20th century the emerging mining industry gave renewed impetus to the circulation of foreign specie, now predominantly Reichmarks.
On the eve of WO I, however, the general willingness to accept foreign coins payments had diminished in Limburg.

 Schaumburg-Lippe
The older and larger Grafschaft Schaumburg went to his mother, Gräfin Elisabeth as the only legal heir, who in 1643 transferred her rights to her brother, Graf Philipp zur Lippe-Alverdissen, with whom she ruled as coregent until her death in 1646.
In this period the Grafschaft Schaumburg began to be divided: the Grafschaft Pinneberg (in Holstein) was transferred to the King of Denmark, the Herrschaft Bergen (in Holland) was sold, Gehmen (in Westphalia) was transferred to the Graf von Limburg, and the Grafschaft Sternberg fell to Lippe.
Three things remained common property between Schaumburg-Lippe and Hessen: the Universität Rinteln (until 1665), the Weser river tolls (until 1734), and the Obernkirchen, Stadthagen, and Sülbeck coal mines (until 1940).
