history
On June 11, 1791, the general loan was granted. In 1831 the tunnel mouth hole was added and the tunnel was driven towards the east at the level of the Hammerbank seam . At the same time as the tunnel was being driven, the seam above the tunnel was excavated . In 1833 the tunnel reached a length of 600 meters and a light hole was created as an opening . In addition, a crosscut was set in this , which should be driven in a southerly direction. In 1834 the König crown colliery was dissolved . On October 5, 1835, the right to inheritance was granted . In the same year, with a tunnel length of 780 meters, the field of the Hammerbank colliery was reached, and a crosscut was set to the north. A straightening section was then driven to the east . In the annual report of the mining authority in 1838 the tunnel was classified as only of medium importance. In 1846, the site of the Erbstollenort Flöz reached Victoria, after which it was driven northwards. On March 21, 1852 , Helena consolidated Erbstolln into the Helena mine .
