The mine Bergmannsglück (also called Rutsch or written Bergmanns Glück ) was an iron and copper mine near Donsbach ( Dillenburg municipality ) in the Lahn-Dill district . The pit was southwest and relatively close to Donsbach.
Aisle means
The gangway was within a band made of Schalstein, which stretched from above Donsbach via Nanzenbach to Hirzenhain . The pits on this passage train were:
- Old hope near Langenaubach
- Bar scales , the luck of the miners, God's grace near Donsbach
- Rose garden at Sechshelden
- Nicolaus and Fortunatus near Dillenburg
- Alte Lohrbach, Neuermuth, common colliery near Nanzenbach
The pit built on several passage means , all of which 7 to 12 hours streichten and were filled with quartz and Latvians.
- 1-7 gear
- 8th corridor: quartz, wedged 150 m depth and fell 72% to the west or south-west. with 50–60 degrees one (on bar trolley ), identical to the brown or hanging aisle of the bar trolley pit
- 9-10 gear
history
The Bergmannsglück mine already existed before 1730. In that year the first ores from the mine were melted in the Dillenburg Isabellenhütte . In 1789 only the upper and middle tunnels existed , which penetrated each other . A deeper tunnel, the bottom of which was 24 m lower than that of the upper tunnel, was added by 1867. In 1867, the upper tunnel was 90 m long, the middle one 130 m and the deep one 560 m. The latter brought a depth of 35 m. In 1867 only Eisenstein was promoted. At that time the ore deposits were already mined to the bottom of the valley.
The mine markedscheidete to the northwest with the pits Stangenwage and Waidmannsheil and to the south with the Haus Nassau mine .
An analysis of the iron stone showed: 36% iron, 14% lime earth , 1% bitter earth , 3% alumina , 18% silica
closure
The pit was closed due to the exhaustion of the deposits. Today the dumps on the slide and the secured openings in the tunnels are reminiscent of the old mine.
geology
In the southeast and east of the Rhenish Slate Mountains lies the so-called "Hessian Synklinorium", which also includes the Lahn-Dill area . The Hessian Synclinorium , which was formed by thrusting and folding in the Paleozoic ( Devonian ), has a complicated geological structure. It is characterized by fault lines, uplifts and faults. There are no large contiguous deposits in the Lahn-Dill area.
