The Wilder Mann mine was a mine in the district of Müsen , today a district of Hilchenbach in the Siegen-Wittgenstein district . It was one of the more important of over 50 mines in the Müsen district and was the operations department of the Altenberg mine .
Aisle means
The ducts of the mine were mostly up to 2 m thick and, in addition to galena and zinc blende, also contained spate iron stone , copper ore and, rarely, nickel arsenic .
The Wildermanner Gang was 200 m long and 1-3 m thick. On the bottom of the Erbstollen, the mean was even 300 m long, but only 5–45 cm thick. It was filled with spate iron stone together with galena, zinc blende, quartz, copper and sulfur pyrites, in the upper depths with lead and pale ore. Spateisenstein becomes predominant under the tunnel sole. The Blendegang was 50 m long, 0.3–2 m thick and contained lead and zinc ore. The middle Wolfgang was 240 m long and otherwise looked like the dazzle . The Glücksanfanger corridor was 86 m long.
history
Until the beginning of the 18th century there was a small pit with three sections and a shaft in the pit area . The Wilder Mann mine was first mentioned in 1717 . An hereditary tunnel was built in the mine area as early as 1700 . This is about 3 k and reached the Kuhlenberg mine in 1890 . The United Jungfer and Wildemanns tunnel was created in the Jungfer Gang from 1717 and was a water solution tunnel for the Wilder Mann and Jungfer pits . It was 33 m below the pit and reached the vein in 1790. A 40 m deep die was equipped with a reel .
Around 1800 Wilder Mann consolidated with Wolf , the Jungfer mine remained independent. Further consolidations took place on September 9, 1826 and April 26, 1878. In 1847 a connection to the Stahlberger Erbstollen , 140 m below, was completed. In 1885, 678 t of lead ore, 1,239 t of iron ore, 891 t of zinc blende and 10 t of copper ore were mined. In 1897 the mine became a department of the Altenberg mine . In 1903 a 400 m long side corridor was cut in the Erbstollen. Funding was finally stopped in 1911. Almost 100 employees lost their jobs. The pit had a connection to the Stahlberg narrow-gauge railway, which led to the Dahlbruch train station.
Civil engineering
There were three shafts:
- Jungfer machine shaft , 137.3 m depth
- Shaft of the Wilde Frau mine , cable car from 1908; 229.4 m depth
- Blind shaft, 258 m depth
Mining and ore grade
Iron ore , galena , silver and zinc blende were mined . Occasionally copper , sulfur , cobalt gravel and nickel arsenic were found. The excavation also took place approx. 130 m below Stahlberger Erbstollen, there the 424 m level. 100 kg of lead ore contained 90 g of silver and 69% lead. 100 kg of Fahlerz contained up to 1000 g of silver. 100 kg copper pebbles contained up to 33% copper.
