The pit Voßbeck is a limestone - quarry in the Upper Devonian Massenkalk the west of Wuppertal in the municipality Vohwinkel on the border with Wülfrath . The quarry, located northwest of Wieden , is named after the former location of Vossbeck (also Vossbeek ), which has completely disappeared due to mining. To the south of the pit runs Düsseldorfer Straße , classified as Bundesstraße 7 , and to the east, Wiedener Straße , which is classified as Landesstraße 74 . Opposite the other side of the Wiedener Straße is the Schickenberg mine in the east . Both pits are connected by a tunnel below the federal road 224. Another tunnel that crosses under Düsseldorfer Straße connects Vossbeck with the Hanielsfeld mine in the south.
The pit measures around 650 meters in the west-east extension and around 360 meters in the north-south extension (this refers to the area that is closed to the public). The mine is operated by Rheinkalk GmbH Werk Dornap (with company headquarters in Wülfrath). The bottom is around 60 meters below ground level in the area (based on Wieden, which is around 190 meters above zero).
