The 16-Lachter-Stollen (previously also called Glückswardstollen or Glückswarter Stollen ) is a water-solution gallery of the Upper Harz mining industry .
The tunnel was started underground in the Haus Sachsen mine east of Wildemann (mountain and university town of Clausthal-Zellerfeld). From here it extends over a length of 3.2 km to the Ascension of Christ Pit , which later became the Haus Celle pit near Clausthal-Zellerfeld . He has no mouth hole.
history
After the resumption of mining activities at Wildemann around 1525, it quickly failed due to hard rock and insufficient ventilation . After the work on the Tiefen Wildemann tunnel and later also on the higher-lying Getrosten Hedwig tunnel had to be stopped for these reasons, the Glücksward tunnel began in 1551 from the Haus Sachsen mine . This was designed as a water solution tunnel from the start .
As with its predecessors, work on the Glücksward tunnel was discontinued, but resumed in 1568 for lack of alternatives. The drive to the Rheinischer Wein mine took place over the next 38 years .
In order to support the 16-Lachter-Stollen in dissolving the water, the 13- and 19-Lachter-Stollen were later driven over 75 years to the border between communion resin and one-sided resin.
After the completion of the Tiefen Georg tunnel in 1799, the 16-Lachter tunnel increasingly lost its importance, but until the middle of the 20th century the entire system of water solution tunnels in the Upper Harz drove water wheels and thus pumps, and those from even deeper pits Could promote water.
Naming
The name 16-Lachter-Stollen comes from the Lachter , a length used in mining. The tunnel was so named because it was 16 Clausthaler Lachter (approx. 31 m) under the next higher water solution tunnel, the Frankenscharrn tunnel .
