The old hope mine was an iron ore mine near Breitscheidt in the community of Hamm an der Sieg in the Altenkirchen district in Rhineland-Palatinate . The mine was located west of Breitscheidt and was a rather insignificant mine in the Siegerland ore district . Mined was iron ore and small amounts of chalcopyrite .
history
The two ore deposits of Old Hope and Tränke were developed through joint mine workings. The first operating period is recorded between 1772 and 1780. There were two building blocks (tunnels) in Breitscheidt, later a deep tunnel ( location ) was set up from the Seelbachtal at 150 m above sea level in a southerly direction and over a machine shaft that is now filled (200 m above sea level) , Location ) an 80 m underground excavation was developed. The partially walled up tunnel mouth hole with water outlet is now on a company site in the Mühlental. Renewed mining took place from 1880 to a major water ingress in 1881. The ore deposit was not completely mined.
Aisle means
The Old Hope / Tränke pit was located in the area of the Beul-Fürthen corridor train. The Old Hope corridor crossed WNW and invaded south. The southern drinking corridor streaked north-south and dipped almost vertically. These corridors were opened up to 200 m (drinking troughs) and 300 m (old hope). The thickness of the two corridors was up to 5 m.
Successor use
In 2010, the outflow of pit water from the deep tunnel was examined to estimate geothermal potential uses.
