history
The first guess for the Rudolphus mine is from April 15, 1854. A second guess followed on December 13, 1854. Based on the inspection of the field on March 22, 1855, the building was confirmed. This was followed on 27 July 1855, the ceremony as a length field to lead - and copper ores at Rudolph watchmakers and Johann Peter Aloys Baur. The award was extended to include Spateisenstein on July 4, 1856. On March 16, 1866, the mine operators applied for the conversion to a square . With the award document of April 3, 1867, the conversion into a square to the landowner Johann Peter Alois Baur was approved. On January 5, 1885, the mine was due to be sold by the widow Maria Christina Baur. The sales negotiations dragged on from January 15, 1903, until the Rudolphus mine union was founded, which became the new owner on January 29, 1905 as the buyer. In the years 1905 to 1917, experimental work was carried out with up to three workers, most of which did not provide any information . The 1917 annual report ends with the sentence: "Trial work was deferred on July 13th until after the war." On December 29th, 1943, AG des Altenbergs became the new owner. The Rudolphus corridor was 20-200 cm thick. The tunnel had a height of 10 to 30 m running in the corridor . 369 quintals of copper ore were mined.
