history
The at 234.61 m NN scheduled shaft was 1848 to a depth of 75.60 meters drilled . From a depth of 56.00 meters, the 1st seam with a thickness of 1.40 meters, at 61.00 meters the 2nd seam with a thickness of 0.20 meters and at 74.00 meters the 3rd seam a thickness of 0.60 meters intersected . The shaft was connected to the Tiefen Weißeritz tunnel via a cross passage . Later the shaft was sunk to a depth of 124.00 meters and connected to the Tiefen Elbstolln via a 370 meter long cross passage.
It was an extending shaft in which the natural flow of weather in summer was supported by hanging fire buckets . With the deeper the back workings took the weather problems in the area of the Albert shaft to. To remedy this, the wellhead of George shaft was at 11 meters in masonry set and a stone Chew built. He now received a weather stove . The shaft was also used for emergency driving.
After mining in the Albertschächter Feld ceased in 1922, the shaft was filled up to the bottom of the Weißeritz tunnel. Above it, it remained open and continued to function as a weather shaft.
As part of the job creation measures in the Third Reich , a remaining field to the west of the Albert Schacht was examined from the shaft. With the opening of light hole 21 in the Weißeritz tunnel from February 15, 1935, the shaft again served as a weather shaft and as an escape route. Even after the mining operations in Lichtloch 21 (Niederhermsdorf mine) were closed on January 28, 1952, the mine remained in operation. After mining in the area to the left of the Weißeritz was stopped, the shaft was covered with a concrete slab in August / September 1959.
In 1971 the shaft was filled and stored by the Dresden mountain rescue service .
