Since the middle of the 19th century, the entire region had been looking for non-ferrous metal ores. In this context, the Ziethen mine was awarded on February 23, 1854 for copper , lead , silver and zinc to a Mr. Mertens from Brussels as a representative of the Rheinische Bergwerksgesellschaft in Cologne. The pit was named after the Prussian cavalry general H. J. von Ziethen . There have been driven into the mountain several tunnels and two shafts 70 meters drilled . From 1875 the owners changed several times until the Ziethen mine union took over the mine in 1897 . Since then, operations have been inactive. Last attempts to extract ore between 1922 and 1927 failed. What remained was a 100 m deep shaft on the main road in Seligenthal, mining heaps and tunnel openings that were filled in over time.
