Hammerunterwiesenthal lime works

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The lime works Hammerunterwiesenthal was a lime - mine south of the Saxon community Bärenstein in Erzgebirge .

Since 1992 it has been a reserve deposit of "GEOMIN Erzgebirgische Kalkwerke GmbH", which is currently carrying out underground storage work in areas influenced by the old mining to secure the deposit.

Dismantling

The deposit Hammerunterwiesenthal continues from east to west from the four sub-areas "Paessler's camp", "Strider camp", "Boehme's camp" and "Schlösselweg Camp" together.

A lime kiln is mentioned for the first time on site in a file from the Oberwiesenthal Mining Authority from 1741 . In 1867 the production of building lime and fertilizer lime is documented, at that time there was at least 1 cylinder furnace. In 1869 a 170 meter long tunnel was created on the fiscal break (break I), in 1874 the marble was extracted by means of a single-track railway.

In 1881, the second and at the same deepest was sole in Day Break "Schmutzler" achieved in 1887 the building was made of a lime kiln for this break. Three years later, the "Schmutzler lime works" was sold to Eduard Böhme, and a second lime kiln was built.

A water dissolving tunnel was created in 1892, and the mining of the tunnel is documented for the first time for this year . Around 1900 the marble was extracted in opencast and civil engineering , there were 6 lime kilns in operation. In 1906 the horse peg was replaced by an electric hoisting machine in Böhmes Bruch .

A detailed report on the work in Bruch I was made at the beginning of the 20th century. The 3 cylinder furnaces were supplied with marble from the open pit through a 170 meter long tunnel .

In 1922, a new conveyor tunnel was driven between Quarry I and the lime kiln at level 2 . At the same time, after a compressed air system had been set up, the extraction facility switched to mechanical drilling. From June 1922, Benzollok production was introduced in the new tunnel .

In the mid-1930s, 30 miners and processors extracted and processed around 30,000 tons of marble annually.

From 1925 onwards, mining in the tunnel was intensified, and in 1930 open-cast mining in Bruch I was stopped. In 1938, the "Böhmesche Bruch" (Bruch II), which had been in private ownership until then, was taken over by the Saxon state and incorporated into the fiscal break. In 1940 a connecting tunnel between Bruch I and II was completed, a year later a new mine locomotive was used.

In 1943, Bruch III was developed from Bruch II through the "Tiefen Wasserlösestolln", in the same year "Schreiter's Camp" was connected to Bruch I via a conveyor tunnel, while mining work began north of this camp. In 1952 the underground mining work began in Bruch II, in 1957 the opencast mining was stopped here. In 1961 the dismantling in the southern part of the "Schreiter camp" was stopped after the dismantling in the northern part had already been stopped in 1954.

In 1964 mining stopped on the 2nd level, three years later also on the 3rd level. In 1984 there was a rupture between the two levels, two years later the south-western embankment in Bruch II collapsed.

In 1991, the last mining attempts were made south of the conveyor tunnel in the "Schreiter camp", but they were canceled due to insufficient quality. Two years later, the ramp driving, the route to the "Schlösselweg-Lager" and the dismantling on the 5th level followed.

In 1998 there was a breakthrough between the 3rd and 4th level and 2 years later there was a break on the south-west slope of Break II.

Reduction prospects

The main perspective of the Hammerunterwiesenthal deposit lies in the underground mining of the "Schlösselweg-Lager". In the “Böhmeschen Lager” there are still deep-lying stocks. The northwest continuation of the "Schmiedel camp", with its mighty main calcite marble, is blocked by the nature conservation status of the breach I.
