Claus-Stolln
The Claus-Stolln is an approximately two-kilometer-long water dissolving gallery in the hard coal area of the Döhlen basin in the area of the city of Freital in Saxony . It served the drainage of the coal village and Pesterwitz mine field , which originally belonged to the Claus heirs of Thümen.
history
The Claus-Stolln was excavated by the owners between 1727 and 1757 over a length of 1900 meters. In 1752 it reached the seam of the Kohlsdorf-Pesterwitz secondary hollow, which is drained with two wing words.
The cross-section of the tunnel is about one square meter, with an average height of two meters, it is about half a meter wide. A measurement in 1862 showed an average discharge of 250 liters per minute. The water diverted to Wiederitz has an intense red color due to the dissolved ocher .
After 1990 the mouth hole was rebuilt. The newly made keystone bears the year 1726 in addition to mallets and iron .
