The Frankenscharrn tunnel (previously also known as the Frankenscharner tunnel or Unterer-Jesus-Anfang-tunnel ) is a water solution tunnel of the Upper Harz mining industry .
history
The Frankenscharrn tunnel was excavated from its original mouth on Einersberg from 1548 under Duke Heinrich the Younger . The aim was to "loosen" the waters of the White Swan , Rhenish Wine and Insurmountable Kaiser Carl (or Kaiser Carrel ) pits on the Zellerfeld gangway . The tunnel was driven over a length of 1159 Lachter in the bedrock (with the help of eleven light holes ) until it came to the corridor . The manual drive with mallets and iron on hard rock ensured that one could only achieve a drive of two centimeters per day. From the point where it came out on the corridor, it led to the Rheinischer Wein mine and by 1563 had a total length of almost 1300 Lachter (2.5 km). This section was formerly called the lower Jesus-start-tunnel , because it ran under the Jesus-start-tunnel .
From July 5, 1564, the tunnel was extended to support the water solution on the Burgstätter Gangzug . The extension led via the Duke Johann Friedrich mine (356 laughers) and another 1846 laughers to the St. Elisabeth mine , which was reached in 1652. Two extensions were made later: 460 puddles up to the Caroline pit , where rich ore resources were found, and a further 640 puddles up to the Princess Elisabeth pit . There were no ore bursts on the last section. In the pit Caroline he brought 38 Lachter depth one, mine New Benedicte 34 Lachter.
On completion it reached a length of 3821 Lachter (7.3 km) to the Caroline pit; including part of the route to Princess Elisabeth 4461 Lachter (approx. 8.5 km).
Since its importance declined due to younger, deeper water solution tunnels, at the beginning of the 19th century the section from the original mouth hole, where the 4th stamp mill of the Zellerfeld valley was located, to the Rheinischer Wein mine, began to decline . However, draining pit water was still used for the wheel room of the laundry building (the stamping mill there), which was built from 1853 to 1856.
The last used mouth hole of the tunnel was in the area in the Zellerfeld valley west of Clausthal-Zellerfeld .
Deeper water solution tunnels
Due to the comparatively high location and ever deeper pits, deeper water solution tunnels were quickly required. Therefore, the propulsion of the 16 Lachter took place below the franc Scharrn cleats luck Ward tunnel , which was later named due to this height offset 16-Lachter cleats.
The 19-Lachter-tunnel and 13-Lachter-tunnel and later the Tiefen Georg-tunnel and Ernst-August-tunnel were built even deeper .
