The Selma mine is a former iron mine in the Bensberg ore district in Bergisch Gladbach . The site belongs to the Sand district . The Mutungsgesuch took place on 28 January 1849. Subsequently, a on 31 January 1849 Mutschein on Toneisenstein for the "treasure trove Selma at stone ruffle in Schmalzgruber Busch in Korte creek on the property of Philip Fischer" issued. It is a quarry about 300 meters northeast of the Knoppenbissen settlement in the Hardt. The award document is dated November 10, 1850. It was not possible to determine when operations began with what results and with what effort. Due to financial difficulties of the Britannia union , from 1852 to 1862, year after year and from 1862 for an indefinite period, applications were made for deadlines , which were approved by the mining authorities with appropriate deferrals . As a result, the mining rights remained the property of the Britannia union, although the company was dormant.
A protocol dated July 18, 1868 reports on the expansion of the quarter field of the Selma iron ore mine . Mention is made of the complete covering with the Jungfrau , Blücher II and Madonna mine fields as well as the partial covering of the Norma, Blücher III, Blücher and the Norma II mine fields. These mine fields were made for zinc, lead and copper. As far as iron ore was available, the mining rights were now with the Selma mine. The Bonn Oberbergamt approved this regulation on October 19, 1868. In the area mentioned, several pings from opencast mines and shafts as well as two buried tunnel mouth holes and several heaps can be found in many places . However, it is difficult to classify the relics correctly and differentiate them from zinc and lead mining.
