King David (Stolln)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

King David is a former mining facility in Johanngeorgenstadt in the Erzgebirgskreis in Saxony .

The tunnel was located on the Jugelbach in Lehmergrund in the area of ​​the Neu Freiberger Glück Stolln near Unterjugel . He was muted to a late walk in the mountain quarter Luciae in 1717 . However, there was apparently no major incident. The work was moved to the old White Taube Stolln . This tunnel, already driven 120 m in a standing corridor, was driven on. King David's late walk was run over here , but it was deaf. Work stopped after 1722. The mouth hole of King David Stollns is no longer visible.

Below the tunnel was the Himmlisch Heer mine , the mining of which was also not very profitable and also came to a standstill in the 18th century.
