The Huth mine was located in Hamm (Sieg) in the Altenkirchen district in Rhineland-Palatinate .
history
It was first mentioned in 1560. In 1763 there was a consolidation. Mining began in the 19th century around 1815. The 500 m long pump head tunnel at 197.80 m above sea level ( Lage ) and the approximately 400 m long, now broken Althuther tunnel at 203.21 m above sea level ( Lage ) are known. From 1867 civil engineering was carried out using a steam engine. The “ old shaft ” of the pit reached a depth of 270 m (the deepest level was 260 m). Between 1885 and 1937 operations were shut down due to low iron prices. In 1937, 5 million Reichsmarks are said to have been budgeted for the resumption of mining operations. Plans envisaged opening up numerous dormant deposits of idle pits (including Hohe Grete near Wickhausen , Hamberg near Opperzau and Hümmerich near Marienthal in the Westerwald ) for investigations and extraction via a central shaft and four straightening sections up to 3 km long . On August 15, 1937, a new shaft with a diameter of 3.9 m was created. This reached a depth of 410 m. In 1938 the mine received its headframe from the so-called new shaft of the Stahlberg mine in Müsen . By the end of 1940 a shaft depth of 424.58 m had been reached. The total depth of the pit was 465 m. The workforce was able to enter the new shaft for the first time on June 27, 1941. The workforce consisted of 70 workers. At a depth of 310 m, however, only the Eisenkauler Mittel I was found worthy of construction (280 m 2 walkway area of worthy iron stone). In total there were 5, possibly even 6 civil engineering levels, whereby the 360 m level was the deepest. On September 24, 1944, the last layer of the mine was moved. Only digging work on the Siegfried Line and the pumping of water from the pit were continued. In 1948 the headframe was dismantled as part of reparations and rebuilt in Basse-Normandie, about 820 km away . It was used from 1949 to 1878 in mine 1b of the Saint-Clair-de-Halouze iron ore mine in the Orne department in Normandy . The total production (from 1815) of the mine was 415,767 t of iron ore.
Aisle means
The deposit extended over a length of 700 m and was divided into several individual veins with different strike directions. There was a double hook formation in the middle of the siderite vein.
