history
Today's mountain town Bad Grund (Harz) is the oldest of the seven Upper Harz mountain towns . The city was first mentioned as a forest place in 1317. By 1450 the settlement had already developed into a mining and smelting site for ore mining. Duke Heinrich the Younger granted the place mountain freedom in 1524 . The ore obtained was melted in other places such as Gittelde , Laubhütte and Teichhütte . The deep Georg tunnel was excavated in the 18th century . In the 19th century the importance of iron ore mining in the Harz declined due to the better and cheaper Rhenish iron. In this way, iron ore mining came to a complete standstill in 1885. The place found a way out through the pits Mining Welfare and Help of God , in which silver-containing galena , zinc blende , copper pebbles and barite were found. The mined ore was processed in Bad Grund and used for smelting u. a. brought to Nordenham . This mining enabled higher yields to be achieved than previously with iron ore. In addition, Bad Grund was able to develop favorably as the only mud bath in the Harz Mountains.
In 1854, Wilhelm Trenkner and Georg Schulze published the pictures and sketches from the resin , the first travel guide about ground .
In the middle of the 19th century the place became a health resort and in 1906 it was officially called a bath .
The ore mine Grund der Preussag was the last of the West Harz mines to be in operation until 1992.
