The Flussberg mine (also called Alter Flussberg ) was an iron ore mine in Eiserfeld , a district of Siegen in the Siegen-Wittgenstein district . It was one of numerous pits on the Gilberg between Eiserfeld and the then still independent town of Hengsbach .
history
The pit was first mentioned in 1697. But she is probably older. In 1750 the mining rights were granted again in a document. The Alte Flussberger Erbstollen were laid out at valley floor level, an Upper Adit and, in 1862, a Deep Adit (26 m above the Erbstollen), also in Siegtal. In 1862 it was 31 m long. Also in the same year, after a length of 240 m, the tunnel reached the deepening vein (thickness 2-4 m). Later, the deep tunnel brought a depth of 54 m underground.
From 1868 civil engineering was carried out. The shaft of the pit was created in 1874, had a size of 4 × 2 m and was not backfilled after the pit was closed. By 1887, 5 levels were hewn in the shaft: 84 m; 107 m; 137 m; 178 m; 220 m. A blind shaft then went down to the 8th level at a depth of 374 m. Between 1891 and 1907, the mine was shut down. On July 15, 1924, the mine was closed. The mine was last owned by the Mannesmannröhren-Werke .

The total production was almost 500,000 t of iron ore, and a few copper ores were also mined. The corridor length of the ore deposit was 250 m.
Consolidations
The Pützhorn operation in Siegen was part of the mine . This mine was in operation between the 18th century and August 15, 1925. The mining rights were reassigned on October 14, 1834. From 1855 a steam engine was in operation, the shaft was 2.7 × 4 m in size and 107 m deep. The following companies belonged to the Pützhorn mine :
- Johannisberg (* 1845)
- Münkerstollen (* 1835, civil engineering from 1874; 74 m depth)
- Serviatus (* 1859)
- Fir forest ( Zeppenfeld , 1830–1865)
- Thielmannsfreude (born July 3, 1831)
