The lagging pit is a former iron mine of the Bensberg ore district in the municipality of Odenthal , district of Schwarzbroich .
history
A first request for a mutation on Eisenstein was made on May 3, 1849 for the Victoria mine in the Schwarzbruch municipality of Odenthal . On November 19, 1850, another application for a request for the same pit followed, which was repeated several times. Finally it came to the April 3, 1852 ceremony with the new pit term delay . The mine was initially not in operation. Until 1862, deferrals from year to year and from November 18, 1862 for an indefinite period of time were approved by the mining authorities because the Britannia union was in economic difficulties. As a result, her mining rights were retained. The lagging pit area was between Schwarzbroich and Küchenberg. A hiking trail leads from the Schwarzbroicher Wiese road into the valley of the Schwarzbroicher Bach. If you stay on the right side (direction of flow) of the stream and after a few meters turn right in the direction of Odenthal, you come to the main operating point of the lagging pit about 50 meters behind a sewage treatment plant that is no longer in operation. On the left side of the stream you can see several, partly larger pings and several buried tunnel mouth holes in the forest . It is not known when the operational activities were started with what results and with what effort.
