The Klangstein mine was a mine near Sechshelden ( Haiger municipality ) in the Lahn-Dill district . The pit was located between today's federal road 277 and the Dill below the A45 on the Am Klangstein road . Copper and iron were mined from 1727 . It is not known exactly when operations were stopped, but it must have been before 1827.
Writes Cramer in 1826 that the mines Klangstein and rose garden already the longest auflässig be. About the ore resources of the mine, Stifft wrote in 1831 Am Klangsteine set up a few copper veins in the scarf stones, which must be found at a greater depth, and in the almond stone , which have copper pebbles, hardened brick ore and sulfur pebbles with calcite and quartz, and on which the Klangstein colliery dermal builds.
In the course of using the pit as protection against air attacks by the Allies in World War II, the tunnel was equipped with electric light, as was a short, left-hand tunnel branch. The main gallery has a length of approx. 100 m. It is estimated that around 300–400 six-hero citizens found shelter there from bomb attacks. A vertical air shaft, roughly in the middle of the tunnel, was filled in during the construction of the A45.
