The pit Irrbaum (also error called possibly even Jähebaum called) was a copper mine in Sechshelden (municipality Haiger ) in the Lahn-Dill district . The mine was located between Sechshelden and Dillenburg on the old federal road 277. Copper and iron were mined around 1744 until around 1896.
history
Johannes Haas from Sechshelden suspected the mine that had fallen into the open between July 26, 1773 and February 4, 1774.
The main tunnel is said to have been around 500 m long, with a 300 m long tunnel leading off just before the end of it, which ran almost parallel to the first tunnel. From the former mine is over days almost no trace. The only, somewhat hidden witness is a side wall of the filled-in tunnel mouth hole in a bush below the old federal road 277. When it rains, water increasingly seeps from the slope. It is very likely that this is water that was collected in the old tunnel.
