The Rosenberg mine was a lead - zinc - copper ore mine in Rhineland-Palatinate on the Middle Rhine , about 500 m north of Braubach .
They dismantled the deposit of the so-called Emser Gangzug , which stretched over 14.5 km from Braubach via Bad Ems to Arzbach . Other pits on this gangway were Friedrichssegen , Bergmannstrost (formerly Lindenbach), Neuhoffnung, Fahnenberg, Pfingstwiese (Tollgraben operating point), Blöskopf, Pitschbach and Silberkaute (near Arzbach).
history
On 12 November 1301 the count was Eberhard von Catzenelnbogen an investiture for the silver mining around the city Braubach due Provided faithful service of his father and ancestors of Emperor Albrecht I granted. Nothing is known about the dismantling. In 1536 Braubach received mountain freedom . A first mining permit for iron and other ores was applied for in 1681. The Braubach silver smelter was founded in 1691, as evidenced by the mining of silver ores. After a lull in 1693, the first bankruptcy followed in 1698.
The Rosenberg mine was first mentioned in 1723. The mining was on the Icklerstiel next to the St. Eckardsberg. It was operated at least from 1723 to 1738, but fell into the open again in 1744. Pure ore was smelted in 1725–32: 77 marks silver , 521 quintals of copper, 1903 quintals of lead and 15 quintals of smoothness with a total value of 35,299 florins and 29 kreuzers. In the following decades only a few individual mining rights were applied for and granted. It was not until 1762 that a deed of mortgage was drawn up for a new union, but it is not known whether this was actually granted. Mining was not resumed until 1833 . The Rosenberg mine was re-lent, as was the Phillip mine, which was consolidated with Rosenberg in 1853 . The Remi union took over the Braubacher pits and sold them to the Emser lead and silver works in 1877. The removal of the raw ore into the tunnel was done by pit horses. Miners sometimes hiked 20–30 km to the mine every day to earn their living there. For days around 1890 a processor earned 4 pfennigs an hour, a hauer 21 pfennigs. Since no production figures are available, the mine was probably shut down in 1867 and from 1869 to 1896. In 1891 , a machine shaft was sunk 175 m from the Moritz tunnel's mouth hole . In 1909 the mine became the property of Stollberger Zink AG . In the same year the Gasthaus zur Waldburg was rented to accommodate horses and the numerous miners and their families. Another house was built for this purpose in 1916. In 1910 ore processing was set up, which was able to go into operation in 1912. The Kerkertserweg operating point was closed in 1928. In 1958 more than 40 miners were employed in the mine. The pit was built on 8 civil engineering levels, the deepest level of which reached up to 267 m below sea level. In 1967 the last Braubach mine was closed with the Königstiel department . There was still some gleaning mining going on here.
