Guilders Hardt was an iron ore mine in the area of Herdorfer district Dermbach in district Altenkirchen in Rhineland-Palatinate . The pit was in the Dermbachtal on the border with Struthütten ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).

An open pit approx. 15 m deep and 200 m long bears witness to ancient times. Originally there were four pits on the gangway: Weisse Guldenhardt (* before 1755), Alte Guldenhardt , Grenz and Kux (* May 1, 1793).

The Guldenhardt mine supplied a high-quality, manganese-containing spate iron stone and was first mentioned on an invoice in 1705. The roof structure was introduced from 1790 . In the 18th and early 19th centuries, the mine was owned by the Remy family from Bendorf and served the Wendener Hütte as the most important raw material base. The mine began to flourish around 1800. In 1840, a water column machine designed by Carl Ludwig Althans (1788–1864) was put into operation on the pit . It achieved an efficiency of 76.7% and was in operation for about 30 years (down to a depth of 50 m). Between 1831 and 1845 29,808 t of iron ore and 1,235 t of copper ore were mined. In 1866 the mine was sold to the steelworks union and dealership Jacobi, Haniel and Huyssen (later name Gutehoffnungshütte Oberhausen). From 1871 to 1873 civil engineering began, a blind shaft with a size of 4.4 × 1.57 m and a depth of 105 m, which it reached in 1880, was created in a tunnel. Three underground levels were distributed over 42 m, 72 m and 105 m below the tunnel. The ore was extracted at a speed of 4 m / s. A twin steam engine from the manufacturer " Jacobi, Haniel and Huyssen " from Oberhausen was used as the hoisting machine.

Gang means were Upper and Lower Rimmelchen . As early as November 1880, mining operations were stopped due to depleted supplies.
