Hanginig's room

To be precise, the Kaue is a changing room with shower facilities at a colliery. In the 'White Kaue' the miners would change from their normal clothes, and in the 'Black Kaue' from their work clothes, and place them in baskets which they would hoist on pulleys up toward the ceiling. Each basket belongs to a miner. After hoisting the basket with a chain, they could lock it.

 

A really stunning place!
