Emperor Karl (mine)
Kaiser Karl , also Kaiser Carl at the time , is a disused mine in the Smolné Pece (Pechöfen) district of the Potůčky (Breitenbach) municipality in the Czech Republic , which operated in the 18th century and came to a complete standstill after about 100 years. The mine house was preserved until after the end of the Second World War. It became known as the Felsenkeller inn at the end of the 19th century and was expanded several times. The building was popularly known as Bloody Bones . Like all buildings, the colliery or inn was razed to the ground by Pechöfen at the end of the 1940s. The tunnel mouth hole was preserved.
history
Due to the new mountain blessing that began at the beginning of the 1710s, further ore-laden crevices and passages were searched for in the Bohemian Ore Mountains . In Pechöfen directly on the Pechöfen Bach one suspected an ore vein, so that a new mine was muted at the royal mining authority in 1713 . The name of the Mutung was after Emperor Charles V , to whom the area owed its cession from Saxony to the Kingdom of Bohemia .
They began to drive the deep tunnel into the mountain. After 18 fathoms, the operating union actually came across a silver ore-containing corridor that was dismantled. But the union that operated this mine was ultimately not financially able to continue the mining, so that 40 to 50 Kuxe were offered for sale through the responsible mining authority. In 1727 the Kaiser-Karl-Stolln delivered 8-14 soldered silver ores.
In 1725 Anna Sybilla Kircheis from Johanngeorgenstadt buried her murdered child in a ditch near the colliery house, put earth and moss on it and marked the spot with a stick. Just one day later, the murderess regretted her act and helped find the buried child. At first it was not exhumed, but only after approval by the Bohemian Higher and Forest Office St. Joachimsthal . The exhumation of the body took place in the presence of the city magistrate von Platten and was recorded. The dead child was carried to the bridge over the Breitenbach at the imperial customs house in Breitenbach and handed over to the Saxon officials in Johanngeorgenstadt.
