The Geyersecke mine was an iron ore mine near Birken in the Altenkirchen district in Rhineland-Palatinate .
The pit was first mentioned in 1780, but the operation is likely to be older. In 1827 the company was muted again . In 1847, 20.9 t of cobalt ore were mined. Around 1900 it was consolidated with the Stöckerdamm mine, first mentioned in 1652, to form the Geyersecke-Stöckerdamm network . From 1901 a cable car was used to Wisserhof. In 1903 13,400 tons of iron ore were mined. In 1910 a machine shaft with a depth of 400 m was created. Funding was stopped in 1912. Up to 155 staff members worked in the pit.
