Kopalnia Wujek (English: "Uncle" Mine) is a coal mine in Katowice, Poland. It is widely known in Poland as the place of the massacre of striking miners in 1981 (most often referred-to by the euphemism ´Pacification´) who were members of the anti-Communist Solidarity movement. Mining operations began in the vicinity as early as the 16th century. The "Oheim mine" (now called Wujek) was established in 1899 by a merger of six mining operations existing in Silesia (then a part of Germany). The German´s called the mine Oheim. The peak Polish production was in 1979 (3.88 million tons that year). Currently, the Wujek mine produces sub-bituminous coal with a typical energy content of 30000-31000 kJ/kg, volatile content of 30-31%, ash content of less than 5%, and sulfur content of less than 0.6%
