history
On February 3, 1856, Albert Behr at Ongrée near Liège tested the Längenfeld Fresenius for copper and lead ores . With the field inspection on February 22nd, 1856 the building worthiness was determined. The award took place on August 26, 1856 in a tunnel in the Heiligenthal , Rose and Plattner mine fields . Periods were applied for from July 31, 1857 to 1862, which were applied for an indefinite period from September 9, 1862. Due to a conversion application from June 27, 1867, the Längenfeld was converted into a quarter field on July 12, 1868 for copper and lead ores in the communities of Löderich, Balken and Heiliger. From May 22, 1890, the mining, lead and zinc manufacturing company in Stolberg and in Westphalia became new owners.
