Elias is a gallery that is still preserved today , a former treasure trove and its dimensions and the hut house in use in the Johanngeorgenstadt mountain area in the Saxon Ore Mountains .

Location and history

The leaned mine field was in Fastenberg near Johanngeorgenstadt am Kirschbächel . The Elias treasure trove with the 1st to 8th dimension and the associated gallery was muted and awarded in the Reminiscere in 1708. The mouth hole of Elias Stolln is at a height of approx. 743 m above sea level. In the quarter of Reminiscere 1716 the mine struck gold. Due to a dispute with the union of the neighboring Liebe Gottes Stolln over the extracted silver, no yield could be paid until 1717. This ore find was mined relatively quickly, however, after a crossing of a mighty stretch of sandstone was encountered. Therefore, additional penalties were necessary to continue operation.

From 1729 until 1741 at the latest, an art shaft was created in the painting of the Elias Spats . The wheel chamber was approx. 12 meters high and approx. 11 meters long, also carved in the painting of the Elias Spat. This wheel chamber was cleared out in the course of the renovation measures between 2011 and 2014 and, due to its proximity to the surface, was finally filled after a documentation had been created about it.

In 1737 the Elias tunnel was connected to the love of God tunnel by means of a hew . Both on the bottom of the tunnel and in the bottom of the artificial shaft, the Gottlob pit, muted in 1716, was approached. The tunnel was driven over a length of 750 m on the Elias Spat . A small amount of silver was harvested until 1769. The hut house, which was converted into a residential building, has been preserved to this day as a technical monument on Dimitroffstrasse (today: Steigerstrasse), which was created as a bypass road after the Second World War. The no longer existing tunnel mouth hole next to the hut house was cleared and restored as part of the renovation work from 2009. In addition to the inscription Elias Stolln, the keystone of the newly designed vault bears the two years 1708 and 2009.

By 1800, 839 kg of silver were produced from Elias .

Between 2011 and 2014 the Aaron Stolln in Johanngeorgenstadt was rehabilitated as an important drainage tunnel in connection with the Elias Stolln as an ERFE project ( securing and expanding drainage systems in mining areas ).
