history
From December 1, 1853, a request for encouragement for lead and zinc blende comes from the Rheinische Bergwerk-Gesellschaft Hennef under the name Göthe by Theodore Guillery. A field inspection took place on February 22, 1854. Guillery wrote on March 21, 1854, the Mining Authority and asked for change of name of Goethe in Wallenstein. The award took place on July 2, 1854 as a length field on lead ore, copper ore and cover.
On December 7, 1858 an application was made to set up an ore processing facility in Boddert. On December 14, 1858, the Siegen Mining Authority approved a processing plant with four setting sieves, a purifying cone, an ore roller and three mud ditches with the necessary flour guides, clarification ponds and swamps. However, a public tender had to be issued before this facility was built. There were protests from the surrounding residents over fear of contamination of the water for drinking, washing and bleaching. Nevertheless, the building permit was issued on July 16, 1858.
On October 1, 1865, the mine operator applied for conversion to a square . The corresponding award took place on August 22, 1867 for lead, copper and zinc ores while retaining the name Wallenstein. The site was found southwest near the village of Boddert. A shaft was also sunk there . A tunnel had been driven further west . Overall, the pit was exposed to a depth of 30 meters at a distance of 80 meters.
