Fischbacher work was an iron ore - and lead ore mine in the municipality Niederfischbach in district Altenkirchen in Rhineland-Palatinate .
Aisle means
The passage means of the pit were the Krautgartner means , which was between two and four meters thick, the Blumengartner means , also between two and four meters thick, the Eulsloch means and the Wendelsseifener means , which was only one to two meters thick.
Iron ore (Spateisenstein), lead and partly also copper ores were mined; From 1880, more lead ore containing silver was mined.
history
In the 15th century the rights to mine lead ore were granted, and from 1880 silver was also mined. A company was founded around 1770, it consisted of a consolidation of the individual pits Krautgarten , Blumengarten and Wendelseifen .
Between 1860 and 1897 the mine was sold three times:
- 1860: by a Belgian mining company
- 1878: by an English mining company
- 1897: by "Niederfischbacher Berg- und Hüttengesellschaft"
In 1869 they began to sink a shaft . However, proper civil engineering did not take place until 1869. The shaft had a size of 2.54 × 0.9 m and a depth of 390 m. From 1893 it was called the old shaft , after a second shaft had been sunk in 1880. This was 465 m deep. The total depth of the pit was 510 m, on which 12 levels were distributed; up to 350 staff members worked in it. In 1869 the mine produced 12,388 t of spate iron stone, 71 t of lead ore and 92 t of copper ore.
In 1888 the mine was connected to the Betzdorf-Olpe railway . In 1897, 9,702 t of iron ore were still being mined. In 1901 it went bankrupt and was shut down in 1902. Two years later the mine workings were finally given up. A total of 212,562 t of iron ore and 34,700 t of silver-bearing lead ore were mined.
