The Jungfrau mine was a non-ferrous metal ore mine in the Bensberg ore district in Bergisch Gladbach in the Moitzfeld district . The Jungfrau mine was located in the Hardt nature reserve in the vicinity of the Erdenburg Iron Age fortification .
history
Eduard Knobel , the landlord of Haus Lerbach , made a request for encouragement for lead ore , blende and copper ore in the name of Jungfrau “on the Moitzfelderberg mountains near the Herrenburg near Bensberg” on January 10, 1848 . On August 2, 1849, according to the field inspection protocol, the building worthiness of the deposit was determined. Accordingly, carried out ceremony of the mine field Virgo on October 31 1849th
Operation and facilities
In the years between 1853 and 1881 lead and zinc ores were mined, which were very noble and coarse. Work was carried out in four construction levels , with a total depth of 95 m below the surface and 64 m below the tunnel floor. A notarized purchase agreement dated March 26, 1879 between the Blücher mine and the Jungfrau mine was entered in the land register on January 23, 1880. Thereafter, the Jungfrau mine received a “southeastern part” of the Blücher mine, which “adjoins the Jungfrau field”. This was the Blücher II mine . In mid-1881, operations were temporarily suspended due to "external" influences.
Ownership of the Jungfrau mine passed to the Weiß mine after 1887 . In 1924 a day tunnel was set up in the Jungfrau field to break through with a new weather shaft and it was driven forward. This was intended to ventilate the 110-meter level on which ore was mined in the area of Barbarastraße, Platzer Höhenweg, Diakonissenweg almost as far as the Jungfrau pit on a crossing of the white deposit.
