The pit Copper kettle was an iron ore mine in Seelbach bei Hamm (Sieg) in the municipality Hamm an der Sieg in district Altenkirchen in Rhineland-Palatinate . The mine was located south of Hamm and northeast of Marienthal and was a rather insignificant mine in the Siegerland ore district . Iron ore was mined .
history
The Kupferner Kessel mine was located northeast of Marienthal in the core area of the Wissener Saddle. The ore deposits were opened up by the Hermann Erbstollen at about 181.1 m above sea level. The altitude of this tunnel corresponds to the 80 m bottom of the Dortmund shaft. Parts of the Emilzeche and Krone mine fields may also have been opened up. During the operating period between 1880 and 1900, 3385 t of iron ore were extracted from the Dortmund shaft. Presumably there was a connection between the Dortmund shaft and the Hermann Erbstollen, which suggests that the entire mine field was drained via the Hermann Erbstollen. In the 1950s the mine was examined again by Erzbergbau Siegerland AG. In the operating period from 1950 to 1953, approx. 3000 tons of Spateisenstein were mined. The total production of the mine was 7663 tons of iron ore.
Aisle means
The siderite tunnels of the Kupferner Kessel mine started in the upper and middle Siegen layers. Larger occurrences were assumed here, since the transition zone of these rock sequences was considered to be a particularly favorable secondary rock. In part, the gear means of the pit in the Dortmund saddle , which is part of the broad development of the knowledge saddle .
Successor use
The pit water from the Hermann Erbstollen is currently being discharged into the Thalhauser Mühle forest swimming pool in the Seelbachtal. In 2010, the outflow of pit water from the hereditary tunnel was examined to estimate geothermal potential uses.
