The Bindweide mine is a visitor mine in Steinebach / Sieg in the Altenkirchen district and a geopoint of the Westerwald-Lahn-Taunus National GeoPark .
Aisle means
In the "Bindweider-Schutzbacher Gangzug" the following passageways were built through the Bindweide mine :
- Western main mean (118 m long, 0.5 m thick )
- Eastern main mean (115 m long, 8 m thick)
- Young Bindweider Mittel (40 m long, 2 m thick)
- New Bindweider main means (178 m long, 6 m thick)
history
The history of this mine dates back to 1837, at that time carried presumption of the mining area . But as early as 1810 a deep tunnel was set up in the area. Mining rights were granted in 1852 and mining began in the gallery in 1864. Theodor Stein acquired the mine as early as 1853. A serious mine accident occurred in 1872, eight miners and six helpers from a rescue team died in a water ingress .
In 1880 civil engineering was used and later reached a depth of 550 m. Shaft I was built from 1880, had a size of 3.94 × 2.55 m and a depth of 535 m. 1882 at a depth of 136 m, the ore on the 50-m- sole degraded . It was not backfilled after it was closed . Its headframe was demolished in the fall of 1964.
From 1882 a narrow-gauge railway ran between the pit and Scheuerfeld . Beginning in 1883, which occurred degradation of the ore using compressed air, and 1912 was the promotion of horse-drawn vehicles done by the deep tunnels. In January 1913, a conveyor and processing plant was opened and the connection to the Westerwaldbahn was opened. In 1928 a new dry spar preparation followed. The mine had an average of 600 workforce members, in 1890/91 there were even 860, at last there were 317. Shaft II was constructed from 1904 and opened in 1909. It reached a depth of almost 500 m. In 1961 its headframe was torn down.

Above all, Eisenglanz was funded , along with spatula and brown iron stone . In 1869 the annual production was 7,393 t of ore, in 1880 it was already 26,142 t of brown iron stone and iron gloss and 218 t of spate iron stone. As early as 1889, production of 99,491 t of iron and brown iron and 14,912 t of spate iron was achieved. The monthly output was a maximum of 10,000 t. A total of 5,123,810 t of iron stone was extracted. On September 30, 1931, operations were closed, but because of the remaining stocks of around 11 million t, the mine was run as a reserve mine. It was therefore possible to convert the Bindweide mine into a visitor mine. This happened from 1981, 1986 the visitor mine was opened. In June 2006 the 300,000 visitor limit was exceeded.
In 2013 the exhibition rooms were fundamentally revised and modernized, a new mine forge was built and a copy of the headframe was built as an observation tower 500 m from the historical site. The inauguration was in May 2014.
Consolidations
The Eintracht mine near Steinebach was muted on November 26, 1853. An upper gallery was 40 m above the deep gallery of the Bindweide mine. In 1880, 1836 t of brown iron stone and iron luster were mined. The middle of the pit was 50–80 m long and 0.5–2 m thick.
The Eselskopf mine near Steinebach produced almost 25,000 t of Spateisenstein by 1906. From 1866 a civil engineering plant was laid out, which in the same year reached a depth of 40 m, the total depth later was 115 m.
A 450 m long pinging train belonged to the Hercules mine near Steinebach, in 1835 the mine field was muted. In 1880 the production amounted to 2177 tons of brown iron stone and iron gloss. Gang means were:
- Hercules (60-80 m long, 0.6 m thick)
- Aurora (90–130 m long, 0.5 m thick)
- Emanuel (60–70 m long, 0.4–0.5 m thick)
The pit Hochacht at Rosenheim (Westerw) was 1881-1906 in operation and promoted with up to 150 miners nearly 150,000 tonnes of specular hematite. In 1870 a shaft was dug up to 260 m. A new machine shaft went down to the bottom of the tunnel , the total depth of the pit was 289 m, on which 8 levels were distributed. More than 150 miners counted Hochacht . In 1884 there was a consolidation with the Theodor II and Mathilde II pits .
