    Largely authentically preserved mining facilities for the extraction and processing of the Himmelsfürst treasure trove, in rare density and completeness, as the most important silver ore mine in Saxony of great importance in terms of mining history, regional and state history, building history and landscape characterization (material group "Brander Revier" ID No. 09208604).
    Monument text: The Himmelsfürst Fundgrube is located in the southwest of the Brander Revier and, in the 19th century, was the best-known and most important mine in the Saxon ore mining industry, alongside the Himmelfahrt Fundgrube in Freiberg. The time of their award has not yet been clearly established. According to Dietrich and Maruschke, the year it was first mentioned in the literature, 1573, refers to a mine with the same name in the district - instead they mention the year 1596 (see Dietrich / Maruschke 2009, p. 15). Mohs, on the other hand, assumed a much earlier recording of the Himmelsfürster mining in the first half of the 16th century in 1802 (cf. Mohs 1804, p. 118). It was not uncommon not to mention add-ons - those that have not yet generated a surplus and were borne by financial subsidies from the trade unions - in the mine lists. Mohs also believed that older, but now abandoned, mine workings were possible in the Himmelsfürster area.
    In the beginning, the Himmelsfürst Treasure Trove was one of the many small pits in this area, but over time it united in itself. Therefore, the treasure trove recently comprised a widely branched, extensive mine field and a large number of above-ground facilities, a large number of which have been preserved to this day. They are mainly located in today's Brand-Erbisdorfer district of Himmelsfürst, named after the treasure trove, but other associated systems can be found in the adjacent districts of Langenau and Linda as well as in the Erbisdorf district. These are identified in the list of cultural monuments by their building names as former components of the Himmelsfürst treasure trove.
    Development of the Himmelsfürst treasure trove
    The Himmelsfürst mine was able to produce silver for the first time as early as 1573, but certainly in the years 1624 to 1627, and pay the surplus to the union as a profit. Conveyed by the simultaneous advance of the Elector's Thelersberger Adit (currently the deepest drainage adit in the area, see ID No. 09208657) from the Gelobt Land mine (see ID No. 09208584) towards the west, suspicions of newly discovered ore veins led to suspicions a constant expansion of the sky prince pit field. From Donat Spat, new mining areas could be opened up in this way via the Take yourself in eight areas and the Jung Einhorn or Himmelsfürst Standing in a north and south direction. In 1667 the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube began a period of permanent silver mining and frequent distributions of surpluses to the union. The further expansion of the Thelersberger adit to the west from 1679 was accompanied by a renewed expansion of the mine field. In the first quarter of the 18th century, one approached via the Neuglück Spat. Century the today's Frankenschacht area and sank several shafts there. New veins, such as the Dorothea Stehende in 1718, could be opened up via these. The mining of the very productive Flacher pond, which began in 1735, finally ushered in the heyday of the Himmelsfürst treasure trove. In the same year, the first on-site processing plants were set up to separate the silver ore from the waste rock on site. The subsequent smelting of the processed ores took place in the union's own smelting works in Langenau until 1710, but after the general smelting administration was introduced, in the Freiberg smelting works. From 1740 the Himmelsfürst treasure trove began to mine flat silver ores in underground engineering (i.e. below the level of the deepest water-dissolving tunnel). In order to cope with the deep pit water, a new artificial and extraction shaft was sunk - from 1746 referred to as a discovery shaft on the Flachen pond - whose artificial equipment, operated by means of a water wheel and field rods, lifted the pit water from 1745 to the Thelersberger Stolln. The rich silver ore fragments on the pond areas, in which the silver was mostly solid or in the form of very silver-containing glass ore, as well as on the areas driven over from the pond areas and presumed to be found again in 1746, caused a rapid economic development of the Himmelsfürst treasure trove, in the course of which this rose to the richest of the Saxon silver ore mines. In 1749, for example, a 68 kg step made of solid silver was excavated in the find shaft, and in 1750 a further, even 141 kg heavy silver step.
    Due to the gradual shift of mining activities to the south and especially to the north, the Fundgrube decided in 1751 to build a new art shaft about 150 m north of the find shaft. This was sunk directly in the Teich Flacher ore vein, so that larger quantities of ore could be mined at the same time. The dewatering of the mine was provided by a piece of art that was put into operation in 1758 and supplemented by another from 1767 to 1771. In addition, attempts were made to develop the Kalb vein lying west of the Flachen pond by driving the Thelersberger Stolln. In addition to the expansion of the mine buildings, the opencast mine on Himmelsfürst also underwent major redesigns. In view of the increasing flow rates, the processing plants were supplemented in 1742 by a new pusher-type washing machine with a water-supplying artificial ditch (see ID no. 08991262), in 1753 by a new stamping mill and in 1770 by a second, neighboring processing complex, the so-called medium wash (cf. ID No. 09208662). In 1753 a new mining forge was added to the building stock and in 1770 a new powder magazine (see ID no. 09247883). The hut house, presumably built in 1750 (see ID no. 09247881) was given a prayer room in 1753 and a pit bell in 1773 - a symbol of the wealth of the treasure trove at that time.
    In addition to the strong economic growth, the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube in Saxony was characterized above all by the use of modern conveyor technologies. From 1779 onwards, Hungarian dogs were used as carts for the first time in the Freiberg district. In the same year, a new extraction shaft sunk on the Dorothea Standing in 1774/1775, the Dorothea Treibeschacht (see ID No. 09304242), was equipped with a horse peg , which replaced the previous extraction with the help of hand reels. This technological advancement was also promoted by the implementation of the management principle in the Saxon mining industry after the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763. So the conveyor technology of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube finally underwent extensive modernization between 1780 and 1790 under the direction of the first Saxon art master and machine director Johann Friedrich Mende. Mende had a sweeping wheel installed over the two artificial wheels of the     artificial shaft built in 1751 on the Flacher pond, which drove the rope cages in the Dorothea driving shaft to the east via an artificial cross in an above-ground rod bucket (see ID No. 09208602) and a 73 m long field rod. From 1781, Himmelsfürster ore was extracted mechanically with the help of a water cap. Using a second, only 29 m long field linkage, it was also able to drive the conveyor system in another conveyor shaft, the Franken art and driving shaft, which was also sunk on the Flachen pond from 1788 to 1790 (see ID no. 09208602). These conveyor systems, which were operated alternately, made both Mende and the Himmelsfürst Treasure Trove famous as technical masters of their time.
    Another main shaft for ore extraction on Himmelsfürst was built in 1778/1779 about 360 m south of the discovery shaft on the trust in God. The trust in God Schacht (see ID no. 09208669) also received a sweeping wheel for conveying and lifting water. In order to be able to process the extracted raw ore close to the site, the treasure trove built a new pound and shock hearth wash below the resulting dump in 1793/1794. In 1791, after many years of gang disputes, the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube also took over the neighboring pit White Swan including Volle Rose as Beilehn and had a new extraction shaft sunk there in 1794 on the Grün Rosner Standing ore vein, the Grün Rosner driving shaft operated by horse pegs (see ID No. 09208690 ). This enlarged the built-up mine field again in a southerly direction. With the Seven Planets Fundgrube (cf. ID No. 09208597), which was taken over as Beilehn in 1783, the Fundgrube also had mine buildings on Lindaer Flur, but these always remained a subsidy business. The continuous expansion of the pit buildings led, despite all efforts to carry out the pit extensions less with wood than with masonry, to an increasing demand for wood in the treasure trove. To cover this, in 1805 a water-powered board cutting mill near the Middle Wash was added to the above-ground facilities. The wood to be processed was supplied by a piece of forest on Lindaer Flur that was acquired at the same time.
    At the turn of the century, the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube operated four large production shafts, which minimized the conveying routes underground, and three central processing locations, so that only short transport routes were incurred for the ore volumes extracted above ground. While around 1750 around 150 and around 1780 already around 500 miners were employed on Himmelsfürst, the workforce continued to grow to 650 people by 1800 despite all the technological advances. At that time the treasure trove was the most important silver mine in Saxony.
    A fifth main shaft, the Reichelt shaft equipped with a water cap (see ID no. 09208663), was built in 1816 as part of the south-eastern expansion of the mine field on the Jupiter or Hopefully Stands ore vein. In the opposite direction, a new art and driving shaft, the Albert shaft, was sunk in 1822 on the calf standing northwest of the Frankenschacht area, which was already approached around the middle of the 18th century.
    After the ore veins east of Jupiter Stand were previously jointly built as Himmelsfürst and Gelobt Land Fundgrube, the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube took over the associated pit field in 1837 as a Beilehn and also combined the subsequent pit field, created in 1828 as a side pit of the Junge Himmelsfürst, with its own mine building. This was subsequently given the name Himmelsfürst including the collieries. The Gelobt Land treasure trove itself was finally taken over by Himmelsfürst in 1854, so that the treasure trove can now be found together with the associated conveyor shaft, the Ark des Bundes Treibeschacht, which was sunk from 1831 onwards (cf. the large heap that has been preserved with the number 271 in the aggregate " Brander Revier ”), also had a main shaft in this easternmost part of the mine.
    Between 1832 and 1845 the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube recorded a decline in ore mining. Increasing problems with dewatering in civil engineering, the dropping of the Dorothea drive shaft in 1836 and the conversion of the conveyor system in Franconia drives shaft in 1843/1844 also resulted in fewer ores being mined and thus the yields falling. The introduction of deeper water loosening tunnels into the Franken Schacht in 1840 - the Neuer Segen Gottes Stolln (cf. ID No. 09208658) was 21 m lower than the Thelersberger Stolln - and in 1854 - the Moritz Stolln even 54 m below the level of the Neuer Blessing of God Stolln - led to the relief of the heavenly prince artifacts. In order to be able to concentrate the scarce impact water required for the operation of the associated artificial wheels and water column machines exclusively on lifting the water, the treasure trove also gradually switched the conveyor systems from water to steam power. After the Ark of the Treibeschacht Federation received a steam hoisting machine before it was taken over in 1847, the trust in God Treibeschacht followed in 1853/1854. With renewed large silver ore quarries between 1857 and 1859, this time on the August Flachen ore south-west of the Frankenschacht area, the treasure trove sank in 1859 a new main shaft shaft, which was initially designated as a new shaft and renamed Glück auf Schacht in 1882 (see ID no. 08991313). This was also later - in 1878 - a steam hoisting machine was retrofitted. The problem of the lack of impact water remained, however, so that from 1867 to 1869 an auxiliary art shaft was sunk directly next to the Franken shaft, the art of which could also be operated by a steam engine and thus prevent the mine workings from drowning.
    The renewed increase in ore production and the end of the restructuring and expansion of the mine fields led to a further expansion of the surface facilities of the Himmelsfürst Treasure Trove between 1845 and 1860. So the processing plants were expanded under the trust in Gott Schachtes and a new, larger hat house (see ID No. 09208689) was built, which corresponded to the operating strength with around 1,500 employees. The Gelobt Lander laundry, now belonging to Himmelsfürst, was broken off in 1869 and replaced with a massive new building. With the purchase of the neighboring mine, hope of God, located south of Langenau, but not further developed after unsuccessful exploration work, the Himmelsfürst treasure trove reached its greatest extent. Their mine field extended over the entire area between Langenau, Linda, St. Michaelis, Erbisdorf and Niederfrei.
    Nevertheless, a gradual decline set in from 1880. For example, neither modern treatment systems nor significantly improved dewatering by bringing in the deepest water dissolving tunnel from the Freiberg district - the Rothschönberger tunnel , which meets the Franken Schacht 114 m below the level of Moritz     Stolln - could counteract the falling price of silver on the international market in the long term. The nationalization of the most important mines of the Freiberg Revier in 1886, including the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube, failed despite the subsequent modernization measures, such as the equipping of the Franken shaft with a steam hoisting machine in 1889 or the connection of the treasure trove to the Saxon railway network in 1890 (cf. . ID No. 09208603), their effect. In 1900, therefore, the decision of the Saxon state parliament was passed to dismantle and shut down the Freiberg mines as planned from 1903. In the period that followed, not only was the mining operation reduced to Himmelsfürst, but attempts were also made to establish successor industries. With the closure of the Himmelsfürst Treasure Trove in 1913, the mine workings reached a maximum depth of 662 m. These were flooded to the level of the Rothschönberger Stolln by the end of 1914, the shafts were then kept and the surface facilities sold to other branches of industry or demolished. Only the steam engine in the Franken Schacht remained in use to generate electricity for Brand-Erbisdorf and the local industry. The former Himmelsfürster mine field was, however, re-opened after the Second World War for the mining of lead and zinc ores from 1946 by the SAG Wismut and from 1951 by the VEB lead ore mines "Albert Funk" Freiberg (from 1961 VEB Bergbau- und Hüttenkombinat "Albert Funk" Freiberg ) . The Franken Schacht, Glück auf Schacht, Trust in God Schacht and the Ark of the Bund Schacht were reactivated for funding. Until 1965, the raw ore was then transported by truck to the central processing plants at Freiberg Davidschacht and then further processed in the nearby iron and steel works. Subsequently, an underground mining operation could be started by means of an ore railway, which led via a production cross passage completed in 1962 from the mining at Glück to the shaft and ark of the federal shaft via the Constantin shaft in Zug and the Thurmhof shaft in Freiberg to the David shaft and the processing there. In 1969, however, this second operating period also ended, until 1970 the shafts were again taken into custody and in some cases above-ground conveyor systems were also demolished. The Himmelsfürster mine building now reached a maximum depth of around 800 m after more than 300 years of operation of the treasure trove. With almost 1,800 employees at its peak, the mine produced a total of around 650 tons of silver and large amounts of lead, zinc, copper, arsenic, sulfur and uranium.
    Monument value: Despite the gaps in the existing stock due to demolitions and conversions, the buildings and facilities of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube that have been preserved to this day are impressive and largely authentic testimonies to this most important silver ore mine in Saxony. In a rare density and completeness, they not only document the functional relationships between extraction, processing and the necessary infrastructure, but also convey an impression of the large extent of the Himmelsfürster Revier above and below ground in their large-scale distribution. This also shows the centuries-long consolidation of Himmelsfürst with the neighboring pits. Together with the many smaller and larger heaps in the area, which in turn allow statements about the conveyor technology used and significantly shape their surroundings, the buildings and systems that have been preserved are of significance in terms of mining history, regional and state history, building history and landscape-defining importance. In addition, the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube also has a scientific and personal history significance, as a previously unknown silver ore, named Argyrodit by Albin Julius Weisbach, Professor of Physics and Mineralogy at the Freiberg Bergakademie, was discovered in the local mine workings. in which the chemist and professor of the Bergakademie Freiberg Clemens Winkler was able to prove the germanium in 1886.

    Other above-ground evidence of the former ore mining in the OT Himmelsfürst on the St. Michaelis district still includes some heaps and heaps of heaps that shape the landscape and are significant in terms of mining history. The numbering of the heaps, which are part of the totality and not individual monuments, was done in the monument mapping line by line per grid square (A6 to E8). Dumps that exist in the ensemble with other structural monuments are not numbered as individual monuments and are located across the street and possibly the house number. In addition to the previous monument mapping based on Beyer 1995, two current maps of the Brand-Erbisdorf mining area from 1990 and 2008 as well as several historical mine cracks were used to classify the heaps, including a map of Freiberg and the surrounding area with the designation of the tunnels and mouth holes from 1866 as well as two mine cracks in tunnels in the Freiberg district from 1792 and 1802 (see references).

  2. ↑ In 1890, the Berthelsdorf – Großhartmannsdorf railway line with the Brand – Langenau branch was opened for passenger and freight traffic, thus connecting the Himmelsfürst treasure trove to the Saxon railway network. This not only simplified the transport of ores to the fiscal smelting works near Freiberg, but also the delivery of materials for the mining and ore processing operations. The new means of transport led to enormous cost savings for the treasure trove, since the transport was previously more time-consuming and had to be carried out in smaller batches with carts. In addition to a loading platform for ore from the Frankenschacht (see ID no. 09208602) set up on the west side of the Himmelsfürst stop (see ID No. 09304483), the Himmelsfürster Wäschen (see ID No. 9208662) and Glück on the shaft (see ID no. 08991313) connected to the railway line via branch tracks.
    In addition to the filling of an earth dam, some engineering structures were necessary due to the terrain profile and the existing infrastructure that had to be bridged, including the impressive railway viaduct built in 1889. The riveted lattice girder bridge, built at a distance of 2,686 kilometers, is 87 meters long, 7.2 meters high and 4.2 meters wide. The trestle-style scaffolding pillar viaduct rests on four support pillars, each with four clinker pedestals and two abutments made of quarry stone on the adjoining railway embankment. The wooden railway sleepers protruding over the lattice girders form an access walkway secured by handrails on both sides of the rails.
    At the distance of 2.792 kilometers, there is another, approximately 6 meter long breakthrough in the embankment, which is bridged by means of a simple construction of steel girders. Here the railway line crossed the artificial and laundry ditch, which is no longer visible at this point (see ID no. 9208662) between Trust in God Schacht and Mittlerer Linen.
    The section of the Brand – Langenau branch line, which was closed in 1998, is, in the context of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube ensemble, which is still preserved today, an important testimony to the economic development of the mine at the end of the 19th century, as the connection to the Saxon railway network made ore transport much easier between the mining and processing site and the Freiberg iron and steel works. It is therefore of transport, regional and mining historical importance. Together with the impressive railway viaduct, which is important for the history of civil engineering and which is now a rarity as a lattice girder construction, the section of the railway line is also of importance for the landscape and the townscape. The passage through the Kunstgraben is also of significance in terms of mining history, as a testimony to the former course of the Kunstgraben and the laundry moat. (LfD / 2013).
    Lattice girder bridge on four scaffolding piers (scaffolding pillar viaduct in trestle construction, stored on clinker plinths), lattice girders (alternative to solid wall girders, material and weight savings, also short construction time and lower wind resistance) with overhead carriageway, horizontal wind bracing and cross bracing, length 87 m, height 7, 2 m, width 4.2 m (first steel lattice girder bridge in 1845 over the Royal Canal, wedding in the 1860s, occasionally used until 1900, hardly preserved today, important evidence of the history of civil engineering).
  3. ↑ With the steady expansion of the mine field of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube (cf. for the history of the treasure trove the total material component document - ID no. 09208116) and the resulting increasing amounts of ore to be processed, several site-specific ore washes were created in sections, starting with the first smaller processing plants around 1735 Years 1741/42 the construction of a new shock stove wash followed, later called Untere (old) or Gräupel wash, which today is only preserved as a ruin below the heap of the Franken Schacht. In order to supply this system with sufficient impact or laundry water, the Fundgrube extended an artificial ditch fed by the Langenauer Pochwerksteiche in 1742 into the Himmelsfürster area, the Langenauer Kunstgraben or Himmelsfürster laundry ditch (see ID no. 08991262). In 1753, the treasure trove had a dry stamping mill built next to the ore laundry, which, like the neighboring board cutting mill built in 1876, is still preserved in a heavily modified form.
    In 1770, about 100 meters further south of this location, a new laundry was built, which was initially referred to as the upper laundry, but later as the medium or long laundry. It was located near the confluence of the two artificial trenches brought about by the Gelobt Lander pond and the Langenauer Pochwerksteiche, some of which had died out (see ID no. 09208593 and 08991262). The required impact and laundry water was channeled into the ore laundry via a partially fortified earth dam and a wooden channel. The washing water "used up" on the herds was then collected in the mud swamps to the north, in order to separate the still ore-containing mud masses and return them to the treatment process. The clarified laundry water was then knocked off via the Herdflutgraben (cf. ID No. 09304687) to the Striegis. The impact water, on the other hand, not only drove the water wheels of the Middle Wash, but subsequently also acted on those of the board cutting mill, the drying mill and the lower pusher wash, before it finally fell underground on the sweeping wheel and the two artificial wheels of the Himmelsfürster Kunstschacht (see ID No.09208602).
    The raw ores extracted from the Dorothea and Franken Schachts were initially brought to the washes by cart or simple huntel tracks. By the middle of the 19th century, however, the heap around the Franken Schacht had "grown" so extensively around the processing plants that the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube used this circumstance to build an iron railroad between the conveyor shaft and the Middle Wash. The western edge of the dump was shaped into a 126 meter long ore railway embankment fortified with quarry stone masonry. An approximately 5 to 7 meter wide and 30 meter long quarry stone four-arch bridge connected to the southern edge of the dump, via which the ore-filled hunte could now get directly to the upper floor of the ore laundry. From there, the ores were rolled to the stamp mill on the first floor of the laundry building. The subsequent ore processing processes took place in the annexes or outdoors. There was a joinery on the upper floor of the main building. Both the laundry building and the fortified ore railway embankment with the remains of the piers of the arch bridge and parts of the water supply systems have been preserved to this day.
    With the acceptance of the trust in Gott Schachtes in the southwestern Himmelsfürster Grubenfeld in 1779, the two existing Erzwäschen finally lost their central location, so that in 1793/94 another shock hearth washing was built immediately below the newly created heap, which is no longer preserved today, Obere ( new) laundry (see ID no. 09208669). This processing location was also expanded several times, so around 1846 a dry stamping mill and a second ablating, peeling and settling wash were added to the existing facilities. In 1861/62, a rolling mill and steam rolling mill for processing waltz ore were built between Reichelt and the trust in God Schachhalde, in 1878 a separating bank was attached to the laundry building and in 1891/92 a steam drying mill was built on the opposite side of the street. Between 1893 and 1895, the latter received a new mining forge equipped with a steam hammer as a neighboring building. Both the steam-drying mill and the mining forge are the only buildings in this latest processing complex that have been preserved, even if they have been heavily rebuilt.
    The Himmelsfürst Fundgrube acquired another ore processing location with the takeover of the neighboring Gelobt Land Fundgrube further east (cf. ID No. 09208584) in 1854. The Gelobt Lander laundry was demolished in 1869 and rebuilt in a modernized form. Today only ruins are left of this complex.
    With the connection of the Himmelsfürst Treasure Trove to the Saxon railway network in 1890 (see ID No. 09208603), the Erzwäschen were also given the opportunity to transport the processed ores to the Freiberg iron and steel works in a relatively uncomplicated manner. However, there are no more traces of the branch tracks to the Middle and Upper Wash. However, the railway line crossed the artificial moat leading from the Gelobt Lander pond to the Mittlere wash, so that the embankment required at this point was given a passage that is still visible today. The Langenauer Kunstgraben, which also had to be crossed, was still out of place here and therefore unproblematic.
    Due to the partly strong reshaping of the existing buildings as well as the demolition of the buildings after the mining on Himmelsfürst was shut down in 1913 and 1970, very few authentic testimonies of the once very extensive Himmelsfürst ore processing plants remain today.
    The two-storey building of the Middle Wash, which was erected on a rectangular floor plan and originally had a half-timbered upper floor, is relatively little shaped. Today it is hidden under plaster, but parts of the framework are probably still preserved. In any case, the window layout has largely remained the same. The laundry probably received two extensions after 1852 and a third after 1912.
    Despite the modifications made, the lack of technical equipment and the change in use, the reference and documentation value of the medium laundry is only slightly impaired due to the other functional components of this processing plant preserved in the immediate vicinity. Both the location near a main extraction shaft and the relationship to the other - at least fragmentarily preserved - processing plants, but above all the water supply system at the rear of the building and the systems for raw ore delivery and ore removal, illustrate the embedding of the ore washing in the energy, raw material - and flow of goods as well as in the necessary infrastructures of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube The function of the ore wash and the surrounding facilities can still be read, so that a unique testimony to mining history has been preserved here. Also within the Brander Revier, the Middle Wash is one of the least impaired processing plants, so that the importance of this plant in terms of mining history can be derived beyond the Himmelsfürst treasure trove. (LfD / 2013).
  4. ↑ After the mining activities of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube were initially concentrated around the ore vein Himmelsfürst Stände further east (cf. for the history of the Fundgrube ID No. 09208116), the first shafts were sunk on the Dorothea Stestand from 1718 onwards. In the following years, manual reels were still used to extract the ores from this area of ​​the mine field. Only in the years 1774/1775 did the treasure trove sunk a main shaft, the Dorothea Treibeschacht, which was driven by a horse peg from 1779.
    Between 1780 and 1790 the conveyor technology of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube was finally modernized under the direction of the first Saxon master craftsman and machine director Johann Friedrich Mende. To the west of the Dorothea Treibeschacht there was already an artificial shaft sunk in 1751 and equipped with two underground artificial wheels on the Flacher pond. Mende had a sweeping wheel installed over the artificial wheels used for lifting the water, which drove the rope cages in the Dorothea drift shaft via an artificial cross in the above-ground linkage bucket (see ID No. 09208602) and a 73-meter-long field linkage. From 1781 ore mining could take place mechanically with the help of a water cap. Between 1788 and 1790, the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube sank another mining shaft, the Franken Kunst- und Treibeschacht (see ID No. 09208602), on the Flachen pond, which was also operated with the help of the existing sweeping wheel and a second, shorter field linkage . The Wassergöpel served either as a drive machine for ore extraction from the Dorothea Treibeschacht or the Franconian Treibeschacht and made both Mende and the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube famous as technical masters at the time. During a period of declining ore breakouts, the treasure trove dropped the Dorothea Treibeschacht in 1836, removed the associated conveyor system and field rods and kept the shaft. The greenhouse was preserved and converted into a Steiger apartment building around 1856. The associated heap was finally leveled in 1890 during the construction of the Brand – Langenau railway line that passed in the immediate vicinity (cf. ID No. 09304483 and 09208603).
    The external appearance of the former greenhouse was changed by the conversion to a residential building. Further construction work required a further simplification of the facade. The otherwise very simple plastered building with a spacious ground floor and wide half-timbered gables, which are now plastered, still impresses with its high, extremely steep gable roof with bat dormers and roof pikes, which were partly added in connection with the installation of apartments. Despite all external and internal changes, it can be assumed that both the ground floor masonry and the roof structure date from the time it was built.
    The very fact that this shaft building is the oldest structure of its kind in Himmelsfürst explains its importance in terms of mining and local history. In addition, it is - in spite of the no longer preserved technical equipment - an essential structural testimony to the introduction of modern and highly complex conveyor systems in the Brander Revier, which made the already important Himmelsfürst Fundgrube and the Saxon master craftsman Mende famous. This means that the Dorothea Treibehaus is not only significant in terms of its document value for the development history of the Himmelsfürst Treasure Trove and in particular the conveyor technology used, but also in terms of personal history. The redesign of the greenhouse into a residential building for Steiger, i.e. for mine officials, as a typical type of re-use for abandoned open-cast buildings, despite all external changes, does not conflict with the building's monumental value. (LfD / 2013).
  5. ↑ After the mining activities of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube were initially concentrated around the ore vein Himmelsfürst Stestand further to the east and later around the Dorothea Stestand (cf. for the history of the Fundgrube ID No. 09208116), the present Frankenschacht area was approached from 1715 and mined 1735 on the rich and for the treasure trove very important ore pond Flacher. In 1751 an artificial shaft was sunk about 150 meters north of the discovery shaft on the Flachen pond and equipped with two artificial tools to keep the mine works, which were now being used in civil engineering. The associated artificial wheels received their impact water by means of artificial trenches from the Gelobt Land pond (see ID no. 09208676) or from the Langenau stamping ponds (see ID no. 8991262) via the neighboring ore processing plants (see ID no. 9208662). It was then knocked off via the respective water dissolving tunnels.
    In the course of an extensive modernization of the Himmelsfürster conveyor technology, the first Saxon art master and machine director Johann Friedrich Mende had a sweeping wheel installed over the two artificial wheels, which from 1781 onwards the conveyor wedge baskets in the Dorothea drive shaft via an artificial cross in an above-ground linkage and a 73-meter-long field linkage (see ID no. 09304242) drive. Between 1788 and 1790 the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube sunk another shaft, the Franken Kunst- und Treibeschacht - named after the Himmelsfürst Obersteiger Carl Friedrich Franke, on the Flachen pond. The Saiger shaft met the barrel-length artificial shaft at a depth of 75 meters and was then sunk next to it as the corridor fell. The associated conveyor system was also operated from the boom with the help of the existing sweeping wheel and a second, only 29-meter-long field linkage. The Wassergöpel served either as a drive machine for ore extraction from the Dorothea Treibeschacht or the Franconian Treibeschacht and made both Mende and the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube famous as technical masters at the time. After the Dorothea drive shaft was dropped in 1836 and the subsequent dismantling of the associated field rods, the Wassergöpel drove the conveyor system of the Franken shaft using the shorter field rods until 1843. Then the rods were removed. Instead, a rope drum was installed above the sweeping wheel, so that ropes could now transfer the propulsive force of the water goblet via a wooden rope drift between the pegs and the newly built drifting house.
    When the Rothschönberger adit was brought into the Franken Schacht in 1882, the height to which the pit water had to be lifted from the deepest to the water dissolving adit was reduced by 114 meters. A water column machine installed in 1883 was able to take advantage of this freed fall height to operate the artificial tools. Two more water column machines drove the two driving skills installed between 1886 and 1888, which made it much easier for miners to enter and exit the Franken Schacht. In 1889 the Franken Schacht received a steam hoisting machine, and the now obsolete sweeper wheel could be removed from the artificial shaft. The old hothouse including the rope bridge was also demolished and replaced by a new winding tower with an iron headframe.
    Despite all the modernizations in the mining and processing operations, the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube was no longer economically viable in view of the falling silver prices, so that the mine had to be shut down in 1913. After the mine workings were flooded to the level of the Rothschönberger Stolln and the shaft systems were kept in safe custody, only the steam engine of the Franken shaft, which was renewed in 1902, remained in use to generate electricity for Brand-Erbisdorf and the industry there.
    After the Second World War, the former Himmelsfürster mine field and with it also the Franken Schacht were from 1947 to 1950 by the SAG Wismut and then from 1951 to 1969 by the VEB lead ore mines "Albert Funk" Freiberg - from 1961 VEB mining and smelting combine "Albert Funk" Freiberg - redeveloped to mine lead and zinc ores. At the end of this second operating period in 1969, however, the Franconian shaft, which had been reactivated for extraction, was again custody until 1970.
    After the end of the mining period, essential parts of the originally very extensive above-ground shaft systems have been preserved, such as the high Frankenschacht headframe and the rod pits, despite the demolition measures that had strongly affected the existing building.
    The monolith-like, three-storey solid construction of the winding tower (Am Frankenschacht 14) from 1889 with simple pilaster strips and brick structure as well as a gable roof is - with the exception of the broken iron headframe - largely preserved today. In terms of height and design, it dominates the former mining site of Himmelsfürst and significantly shapes the landscape and townscape. A southern extension of the headframe, the former Scheidebank, as well as an adjoining building to the east, the former ore depository, are heavily converted and are now used as residential buildings (both are therefore only parts of the above-mentioned entity). Only remnants of ruins indicate the neighboring machine and boiler house with chimney and the large shaft building on the auxiliary steam engine shaft. This makes the headframe one of the last authentic evidence of ore mining on the most important mine of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube in its first operating period.
    In connection with the Gestängekaue (Am Frankenschacht 9) - a single-storey building made of solid quarry stone masonry with a flat gable roof - it also documents the further development of the conveyor technology used on Himmelsfürst. While the boom is primarily a structural testimony to the remarkable Mendes Wassergöpel conveyor system, the conveyor tower represents the last stage of development in local conveyor technology using a steam hoisting machine. Accordingly, both systems are not only of great historical mining importance, but together with the Dorothea Treibehaus (see ID No. 09304242) also as evidence of the work of the first Saxon art master and machine director Johann Friedrich Mende in terms of personal history and also of rarity.
    In addition to these former open-cast buildings, the spacious heap, which is partly enclosed by retaining walls, deserves attention not only because of its impact on the landscape and the townscape. Due to its size and in comparison with the many smaller dumps in the area operated with hand reels, it illustrates the modern conveyor technology used on this main shaft. In the context of the winding tower and the ore roll created in 1889 as well as the ore railway embankment leading from the heap to the processing plants (see ID No. 9208662), the functional relationships between ore extraction, ore separation, the tipping of the waste rock on the heap and the transport of the raw ore for processing can be traced. Thus, despite all the changes and interventions, the Frankenschacht Ensemble has great informative and documentation value for the history of the development of the Himmelsfürster treasure trove, which was once important nationwide.

  6. ↑ a b In the course of the enlargement of the mine field of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube (cf.for the history of the Fundgrube the material component part document ID No. 09208116) to the south, in 1779, shortly after the completion of the Dorothea drive shaft (see ID No. 09304242), a Another main shaft, the trust in God Treibeschacht, sunk to cope with the ore production there. A day shaft had existed since 1705 on the approached ore vein Trust in God Flacher, but it was still designed as a manual reel shaft. The trust in God Treibeschacht, on the other hand, was equipped with a sweeping wheel in 1780, which powered either mining or water art. An artificial ditch conducted the necessary impact water from the Gelobt Landner pond (see ID no. 09208676) to the new Wassergöpel and then on to the Himmelsfürster Erzwäschen (see ID no. 9208662).
    In order to be able to process the mined ores close to the location, the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube set up a new shock stove wash north of the heap, the Obere wash, which is no longer preserved today. From 1800 the mine began to open up the eastern mine field and in 1810 drove to the ore-rich Jupiter standing. The trust in God Treibeschacht now also had to take on the extraction of the ores and deaf rocks of this corridor, an additional burden that led to the sinking of another, east-facing shaft (see Reichelt Treibeschacht - ID No. 09208663).
    The artificial moat that led past the new shaft was now also used to act on the local water cap. In order to continue to lead the impact water to the turning wheel of the trust in God Schacht, a fume cupboard was created by the Reichelt Schachter Wassergöpel in the direction of Trust in God Schacht in 1815 and covered with large gneiss slabs and an earth dam in 1816. Due to the ever increasing depths of the mine and the increasing lack of impact water to operate the water goblets and artificial wheels, steam hoisting machines finally found their way into the Himmelsfürster treasure trove around 1850. In the years 1853/54, trusting in God Schacht, an “architecturally remarkable steam conveyor system” (Wagenbreth / Wächtler 1986, p. 237) replaced the old water cap. The greenhouse was rebuilt for this purpose and received a boiler and machine house extension.
    The Himmelsfürst Treasure Trove also expanded the processing plants in order to be able to cope with the mined ore masses. In 1846 a dry stamp mill was added to the existing ore laundry. In 1861/62, a rolling mill and steam rolling mill for processing waltz ore was built between Reichelt and the trust in God Schachhalde, in 1878 a separating bench was attached to the laundry and in 1891/92 a steam drying mill (part of the above-mentioned entity, see ID no. 09208116 ) across the street. With the closure of the Himmelsfürst Treasure Trove in 1913, the clean-up and safekeeping work, which continued until 1915, began, also based on the trust in God Schacht. The greenhouse, which was once visible from afar, burned down in 1931.
    After the Second World War, the former Himmelsfürster Grubenfeld and with it the trust in God Schacht from 1947 to 1950 by the SAG Wismut and then from 1951 to 1969 by the VEB lead ore mines "Albert Funk" Freiberg - from 1961 VEB mining and smelting combine "Albert Funk" “Freiberg - redeveloped to mine lead and zinc ores. Freiberg Hüttenwerke were now responsible for processing the ores extracted. Under "Albert Funk", however, the former trust in God Treibeschacht only served as a material transport and weather shaft for incoming weather.
    With the renewed custody of the trust in Gott Schacht in 1970, this second operating period ended. The majority of the surface facilities were demolished in the following years and the 80,000 m² dump was recultivated by a birch forest to protect against erosion.
    The surviving testimonials of the trust in God Treibeschacht therefore include the large, table-shaped heap
    • the remains of the former mining facility,
    • the foundation walls of the Wassergöpel greenhouse including the fume cupboard, from whose elliptically arched mouth the water was directed to the Himmelsfürster washes,
    • Part of the artificial trench, which is partly still covered with gneiss slabs, in the southeastern dump area,
    • a section of the older, masonry artificial moat in front of the installation of the Reichelt shaft a little north of this,
    • the ventilation shaft from the second operating period west of the artificial ditch
    • as well as some quarry stone dump retaining walls.
    They testify fragmentarily of the former surface facilities of one of the main shafts of the most important silver ore mine in Saxony, the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube, as well as of the new mining activities in the associated mine field between 1947 and 1969 by SAG Wismut and the VEB mining and smelting combine "Albert Funk" Freiberg. The preserved facilities are therefore of great importance for the history of the Himmelsfürst treasure trove and also for the history of Saxon ore mining.
    On the basis of the impressive size of the heap, the considerable quantities of mined ore can still be guessed today, so that it is not only characteristic of the landscape, but also has a high experience and memorable value. The structural remains of the conveyor system and the water cap also document the conveyor technology required for this.
    Furthermore, the remains of the water cap, together with the water supply and drainage system that has been preserved in parts, are an impressive testimony to the great efforts that the Himmelsfürster miners made in the 18th and 19th centuries to "keep the water high" and to use this multiple times in a row as a driving force for water goblets, artificial wheels and Poch- or shock-hearth wheels. For this, the impact water had to be kept free of contamination, as can still be seen today on the partially preserved gneiss slabs. In addition, the present artificial moat section (see also other preserved sections, such as ID No. 09208593) is connected to the historic Revierwasserlaufsanstalt (see ID No. 08991218) and thus originally embedded in a much larger, significant mining water management system, the stretched from the Flöha to Freiberg and supplied the adjoining ore mining with impact water. (LfD / 2013).
  7. ↑ In 1890, the Berthelsdorf – Großhartmannsdorf railway line with the Brand – Langenau branch was opened for passenger and freight traffic, thus connecting the Himmelsfürst treasure trove to the Saxon railway network. This not only simplified the transport of ores to the fiscal smelting works near Freiberg, but also the delivery of materials for the mining and ore processing operations. The new means of transport led to enormous cost savings for the treasure trove, since the transport was previously more time-consuming and had to be carried out in smaller batches with carts. The Himmelsfürster Wäschen (see ID no. 9208662) and the Glück Auf Schacht (see ID no. 08991313) were connected to the railway line via branch tracks. Since the Himmelsfürst stop of the Brand – Langenau branch line (from 1905 as a train station, from 1933 again as a stop and from 1964 as Himmelsfürst stop) mainly uses a branch track set up on the west side for loading ore from the Frankenschacht (see ID no. 09208602) served, the present simple, wooden bus shelter was the only concession for the passenger traffic also handled on this route.
    It is therefore - together with the nearby railway viaduct (see ID no. 09208603) - not only a testimony to the Brand – Langenau branch line, which was shut down in 1998, but as part of the ensemble around the Himmelsfürst treasure trove also for the transport engineering and thus for the economic development Development of the region and in particular of the mining location. The bus shelter is therefore of regional, railway and mining historical importance. (LfD / 2013).
  8. ↑ Originally one of the oldest colliery buildings in the Brander Revier from the 16th century, the Lower Alt Himmelsfürster Huthaus bears witness to the beginnings of the important Himmelsfürst treasure trove (cf. for the history of the treasure trove ID No. 09208116). At that time, in accordance with the size of the treasure trove at that time, it was only one-story and had a high hip roof . In addition to the prayer room, it contained the apartment of the treasure trove climber. In the 19th century, a two-storey residential building was built on the foundation walls of the hat house, consisting of a solid ground floor with a basic size of 10 mx 8 m and a clad upper floor framework. Whether parts of the previous building are included in the current house cannot be determined without a more detailed construction investigation. The external appearance suggests that the current house is a 19th century building. However, it still marks the location of the Lower Alt Himmelsfürster Huthaus and is decisive for the townscape. The monument value of the building results from its importance in terms of mining history and the townscape. (LfD / 2013).
    Himmelsfürst treasure trove known since 1572, insignificant mine until the middle of the 18th century, from 1747 rich silver ore finds after improvement of the technical equipment, bought by Krone, mine owned many main shafts: u. a. the Ark of the Bund Schacht, Trau auf Gott Schacht, Reichelt Schacht, Franken Schacht, Glück Auf Schacht - Grubenfeld approx. 12 km², with around 1,800 miners one of the largest pits in Freiberg Revier, mining reached a depth of 600 m, a total of were out the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube mined 600 t of silver ore, mining provisional in 1913, finally stopped in 1968, at the foot of the large heap of the Franken- and Dorothea shaft the prayer house and the hat house of the mine have been preserved, two-storey, ground floor massive, upper storey partially clad with half-timbering, partially massive, flat sloping gable roof, substantial building stock obviously 19th century, whether building parts are older could not be checked during the registration, source: MontE database.
  9. ↑ The powder tower on the heap of the Hoffend Glück shaft, which has been preserved as a ruin, was built in 1770 on the foundation walls of an older open-cast building from 1573 and was still in use until the local mining industry in 1913. The Himmelsfürst Fundgrube (cf. for the history of the Fundgrube ID No. 09208116) originally stored the black powder required for the underground shooting work in it, which had been used in the Freiberg pits since the first half of the 17th century, but was not used until late prevailed in the second half of the 18th century.
    Due to the high risk of explosion, such purpose-built buildings were often located apart from other mining facilities and not infrequently on abandoned heaps, as is the case with the present powder tower. In addition, it has very strong quarry stone walls made of gneiss, which enclose a rectangular base area of ​​7.20 meters × 6.40 meters. Additional retaining walls strengthen the masonry. Only a few of these powder towers have survived to this day. Ruins of these buildings are also only found sporadically, so that this ruin, which can still be easily recognized as a powder tower, is of great importance in terms of mining history. (LfD / 2013).
    Himmelsfürst treasure trove known since 1572, insignificant mine until the middle of the 18th century, from 1747 rich silver ore finds after improvement of the technical equipment, bought by Krone, mine owned many main shafts: u. a. the Ark of the Bund Schacht, Trau auf Gott Schacht, Reichelt Schacht, Franken Schacht, Glück Auf Schacht - Grubenfeld approx. 12 km², with around 1,800 miners one of the largest pits in Freiberg Revier, mining reached a depth of 600 m, a total of were out the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube mined 600 t of silver ore, mining provisional in 1913, finally stopped in 1968, the prayer and hat house of the pit have been preserved at the foot of the large heap of the Franken- and Dorothea shaft, quarry-stone construction unplastered, today single storey, various arched openings, roof not received, source: MontE database.
  10. ↑ After the first hat house of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube, the Untere Alt Himmelsfürster Huthaus (cf.ID No. 09247882), was probably neither central enough nor due to the expansion of the mine field to the west (cf. for the history of the Fundgrube ID No. 09208116) the size of the workforce, the treasure trove built a new hat house around 1750. In 1753 a prayer room was integrated into the building and in 1773 a roof turret was added for a mountain bell that was cast especially for the treasure trove.
    With the construction of the New Hut House (cf. ID No. 09208689) in 1858, the older building lost its function as an administration building for the treasure trove, so that a pure prayer house was to be built in the same place. According to Wagenbreth, only the roof and upper floor of the former hat house were demolished for this purpose and a new hipped roof was put on. Dietrich and Maruschke, however, assume that the building will be completely demolished and that a new building will be built.
    In addition to the prayer room for the miners' devotions before entering, the prayer house now only included the tack room. The mountain bell was transferred from the old to the new hut, while the prayer room organ, acquired in 1845 and built around 1650 for a noble family, was still in use in the prayer house until 1886 (today in the Freiberg City and Mining Museum ). A new positive organ acquired this year remained in use until the treasure trove was closed (today presumably in the Deutsches Museum in Munich ). The prayer house, now used as a residential building, is a simple plastered building over an L-shaped floor plan, which is characterized by the regular row of rectangular windows and is completed by a relatively flat hipped roof.
    Due to its many years of use as a house of prayer for the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube, one of the most important silver mines in the Ore Mountains, it is of great historical importance for mining. It not only documents an important part of mining customs, but as the location or possibly remnant of the second Himmelsfürster Huthaus also the expansion and workforce growth of the treasure trove itself. The monument value of the building is also derived from the importance of the townscape due to its dominant location . (LfD / 2013).

  11. ↑ Monument text: The New Hut House of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube (cf. for the history of the Fundgrube ID No. 09208116), a representative building corresponding to the size of the 1,500-strong mine workforce at the time, was erected in 1858/59. It replaced the older hat house opposite the treasure trove (cf. ID No. 09247881) in its function. In addition to several administrative rooms on the upper floor, there was also a dining room with a kitchen, rooms for Hutmann, Steiger and Obersteiger and a silver room on the ground floor of the building.
    The facade of the two-storey solid building, which was originally rectangular and later L-shaped, is dominated by regularly arranged rectangular windows and a flat central projection over three window axes on the front. The building is completed by a high saddle-hip roof and a polygonal roof turret with a pyramid helmet. In this open clock and bell tower there is a mountain bell with the inscription "Johann Gottfriedt Weinholdt poured me in Dresden in 1773. Heaven's Fuersten Fund = pit", which previously hung in the bell tower of the old hat house. The largely original building documents the development of the Himmelsfürst treasure trove in the 19th century and is one of the most impressive testimonies to the mining history of the Brander Revier. The much older mountain bell already shows the former prosperity of the treasure trove, but the size of the New Hut House testifies to further economic growth and increasing workforce. The monument value clearly results from the importance of this building in terms of mining history and building history. Due to its dominant location within the OT Himmelsfürst and the monumentality of the building, it has a significant impact on the townscape. (LfD / 2013).

  12. ↑ The Grün Rosner Treibeschacht is located in the southern mine field of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube and originally belonged to an independent mining operation neighboring the Himmelsfürst, which was only taken over by Himmelsfürst in 1791 as a Beilehn (cf. for the history of the Fundgrube ID No. 09208116).
    The Grube Grube and Volle Rose, which has been in operation since the 17th century, merged in 1720 with the White Swan Treasure Trove to the southeast. Due to the good ore eruptions on the Grün Rosner, which was still built with manual reel conveying, the mine, now known as the White Swan and Full Rose, was one of the mining pits of the district.
    However, when it was discovered that this ore vein was already located further north as the re-found happiness of standing people at the neighboring Himmelsfürst treasure trove in Lehn, protracted gang disputes were the result from 1785 onwards. Until this was ended by a judgment of the kk Berggericht zu St. Joachimsthal and the Bergschöppenstuhl zu Clausthal in 1790 in favor of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube, both mining companies had to stop mining activities on the ore in question. For the Weißer Schwan and Volle Rose Fundgrube, this led to a noticeable decrease in the ore volumes mined.
    Following the judgment, the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube finally took over all Kuxe from Weißer Schwan including Volle Rose in 1791 and attached the Fundgrube as an attachment to its own mine field. In 1794 a new drift shaft was sunk on the Grün Rosner standing, which replaced the old day shaft, which was still equipped with a manual reel. A horse gopel now took over the ore mining for the southern mine field of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube that was created with the takeover.
    The Huthaus der Weißer Schwan and Volle Rose Fundgrube, built in 1775, originally housed a prayer room, the tack room and an apartment for the climber. During a renovation in 1852, the hut house, which had previously been single-storey and ended with a high mansard roof, was presumably increased and received the gable roof that still exists today. Subsequently, it served as a civil servants' or director's residence, in which the last manager of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube and later Oberbergrat Oscar Reinhold Lange lived until his death in 1937. Lange, who worked from 1892 as an operations assistant or from 1895 as operations director for the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube and in this role managed its disarmament from 1903 to 1914, made a name for himself, especially through his plan to use the impact water released after the cessation of mining Electricity generation. Thus, the mining water systems created over centuries experienced a subsequent use, which was of great importance for the successor industry of mining and private needs. Lange played a key role in the design and implementation of the district power station, which went into operation in 1914 (see also the cavern power station in the Drei-Brüder-Schacht - ID No. 09201113) and was its director until 1931.
    The long-term use of the former hat house as a residence for officials and directors of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube also shaped the immediate surroundings. On the south side of the building, for example, a garden terrace with quarry stone enclosing walls was laid out, which is leaning against the dump to the west, which is also partially delimited by retaining walls. On the heap itself, a garden pavilion was also built for the director's family with a view of the Trust in God Schacht and the Reichelt Schacht (see ID no. 09208669 and 09208663).
    Of the pavilion in the northern part of the large Grün Rosner Halde, which characterizes the landscape, only the surrounding semicircle made of quarry stone, framed by two oaks, has survived. Also from the large horse peg in the southern dump area, only remnants of the surrounding walls of the quarry stone greenhouse have been preserved, which document the location of the Grün Rosner drift shaft that has been kept. Such systems were used where the installation of a water peg was not profitable due to the limited ore output or insufficient impact water. They were therefore widespread in the Brander Revier and shaped the mining landscape due to their size and the conspicuous tent-like roof construction over the horse runway next to the drive shaft. Today, however, they have disappeared from the landscape of the Brander Revier. The surrounding walls are one of the few original evidence of these conveyor systems.
    Below the Grün Rosner Halde, in addition to the former hut house, another former open-air mine of the White Swan and Volle Rose treasure trove has been preserved. Possibly an old kaue at its core, the building, a simple brick building with a gable roof, has been preserved to this day thanks to its subsequent use as a barn.
    The ensemble of the former open-cast mine, the Weißer Schwan, Volle Rose Fundgrube and the Grün Rosner Halde, still impressively conveys the surface appearance of a historical mine, even if, of course, changes have been made to the buildings and the surroundings over the course of time. In addition, they document the location of a mine field that was once immediately adjacent to the Himmelsfürst Treasure Trove, which led to gang disputes and ultimately to the takeover of Weißer Schwan and Volle Rose by Himmelsfürst. The monument value of the ensemble described results primarily from its mining historical importance. At the same time, the hut house and later the director's residence also acquired personal historical significance due to its resident Oscar Reinhold Lange, who was important for regional history.
    The redesign of the immediate surroundings of the former hat house and especially the dump to a place of relaxation and retreat for the civil servant families also opens up a socio-historical perspective. After all, the ensemble is particularly characteristic of the landscape due to the large, highly visible heap. (LfD / 2013).
  13. ↑ Monument text: Due to rich silver ore quarries on the August Flachen vein in the western mine field of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube (cf. for the history of the Fundgrube ID No. 09208116) from 1857 onwards, in 1859, a separate main shaft was sunk in this part of the field. In 1878 the Saigere new shaft, called Glück auf Schacht from 1882, was completed with the erection of the shaft saddles and initially reached down to the third gezeug section. The ore was extracted from 1878 initially on a provisional basis with an older steam hoisting machine from the Rothschönberger Stolln. It was not until 1881 that a new, more powerful steam hoisting machine came into operation on the shaft, which now has a depth of 486 meters, which now extends to Baltic Sea level.
    While ore and dead rock were being mined for days, it was enough to lift the pit water onto the 5th geology section. On this it could be led to the Frankenschacht (cf. ID No. 09208602) and there it fell into the Rothschönberger Stolln. With the connection of Himmelsfürst to the Saxon railway network (see ID no. 09208603), Glück auf Schacht also received a branch track, which simplified ore transport to the Himmelsfürster Wäschen (see ID no. 09208662) that was also connected.
    When the Himmelsfürst treasure trove was shut down in 1913, the luck on the mining shaft reached a depth of 680 meters. At that time, the above-ground facilities were owned by Zementindustrie GmbH Freiberg, with the maintenance and clearing work on the shaft continuing until 1915. In 1947, however, Glück auf Schacht was re-opened by SAG Wismut and, from 1951, by VEB lead ore mines "Albert Funk" Freiberg, which later became VEB mining and smelting combine "Albert Funk" Freiberg. Although initially only exploration work was carried out in the former Himmelsfürster Grubenfeld, in 1953 the Glück auf Schacht received a modern bucket as well as a 51-meter-high double-headed headframe with a Koepe conveyor system. At that time, Glück auf Schacht reached its highest workforce with around 1,200 men, which eventually fell back to around 500 men around 1960.
    The processing of the extracted lead and zinc ores as well as - in very small quantities - the ores containing silver and trace metals was no longer carried out on site during this second operating period of the Himmelsfürster mining, but in the central processing plants at the David Schacht in Freiberg. While the ore was initially transported by truck, a 10-kilometer cross-cut from Glück to Schacht via the Ark of the Federal Schacht (cf. the large heap that has been preserved with the number 271 in the above-mentioned entity) made it possible for the Zuger Constantin to be completed in 1962 Schacht and the Thurmhof Schacht in Freiberg allow the ores to be transported underground to the David Schacht. An electrically operated ore railway, which was completed by 1964, served as a means of transport. From 1965 onwards, the Himmelsfürster and Zuger ores could be mined in the David Schacht for days and further processed in the connected processing facility.
    Due to the falling ore prices, however, the Himmelsfürster mining industry was shut down again in 1969. VEB Meliorationsbau Karl-Marx-Stadt took over the surface facilities, while dismantling work was carried out underground until 1970. After the now approximately 800 meters deep Glück auf Schacht was taken into custody, the striking and widely visible headframe was demolished in the same year. From 1970 to 1990, the surviving opencast buildings of the disused shaft were used by the Central Company School of the Film Industry of the GDR Ministry of Culture, which trained skilled workers and masters in film reproduction technology as well as film theater directors at this location. From 1972 onwards, the former hanging bank and the kaue were converted into boarding rooms. Today the "Glück Auf" workshop of Lebenshilfe eV Freiberg is located on the site, which in 2010 again had a change in the above-ground facilities.
    The Grobbergehalde can thus be regarded as the last, authentic evidence of the profitable mining operation in its western mine field, which is very important for the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube. In its current form, it also documents the location of a main shaft from the second operating period during the GDR era, which until the end was characterized by hopeful investments, such as the underground connection to the Freiberg mine field and the establishment of an underground ore conveyor line.
    With a height of around 50 meters and a volume of approx. 1,800,000 cubic meters, the dump is one of the largest in the Brander Revier. While it adjoins the natural terrain level, viewed from the OT Himmelsfürst, it can be clearly seen from the west as a stepped dump body on the slope that characterizes the landscape. This makes the Glück auf Schachter Halde not only of great importance in terms of mining history, but also characteristic and essential for the townscape. (LfD / 2013).
  14. ↑ In the course of the steady expansion of the mine field of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube (cf. for the history of the Fundgrube ID No. 09208116) to the south-east, a new extraction shaft, the Reichelt Treibeschacht, was sunk on the ore-rich Jupiter standing which was approached in 1810 from 1815 to 1816. As a result, this relieved the neighboring trust in God Förderschacht (see ID no. 09208669). The name of the mine, which is also known as the Jupiter drive shaft after the silver ore vein, goes back to the heavenly prince Obersteiger Johann Traugott Reichelt, who died before the completion of the conveyor system in 1816, but was responsible for its planning. This, a water göpel with a 6.72 meter high sweeping wheel, drove the art of mining until 1893. After that, the ores were only extracted underground via the ore railway, which was set up in 1840 to trust God Treibeschacht. In 1904 the Reichelt Schacht was finally kept and the opencast buildings on the stockpile, the Wassergöpel-Treibehaus and the later built Scheidebank were demolished before the Himmelsfürst Treasure Trove was closed in 1913.
    Today, part of the heap belonging to the shaft and the remains of the masonry of the Wassergöpel, which were uncovered in 1981 during the removal of the heap body, consist of the remains of masonry from the greenhouse, the shaft and the adjacent kehrradstube with the remains of vaulted arches and the opening vault in the longitudinal wall. Two artificial trenches lead from the east to the dump of the Reichelt shaft, the southern artificial trench and the northern Herdflutgraben (cf. for both ID no. 09208593). While the latter forwarded the “used” laundry water from the Gelobt Lander laundry to the Himmelsfürst processing plants, the artificial ditch transported uncontaminated whipping and laundry water from the Gelobt Lander pond (see ID no. 09208676) to the Himmelsfürst treasure trove. The turning wheel, a water wheel with two oppositely arranged blade rings, was acted upon by this via an impact chute. Depending on the impact and the corresponding direction of rotation of the sweeping wheel, the conveyor barrels attached to the hoisting rope could be raised or lowered. By using the hydropower, shaft depths of up to 550 meters could be made accessible by means of a mining art. The impact water then flowed in a concealed section of artificial ditch to the Wassergöpel des Trust in God Schachts.
    The preserved Kehrradstube together with the surrounding dump is not only important for the history of the development of the Reichelt shaft and the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube as a whole, but also represents an important testimony to the technology of ore extraction by means of water power. Due to the partial exposure of the Radstube and the resulting visibility or The accessibility of the facility in connection with the artificial trenches, which still lead almost to the heap, is also a high documentation and experience value for the viewer, which is only insignificantly diminished by the current condition. In addition to its great significance in the history of mining, the dump also has a significant impact on the landscape. (LfD / 2013).
  15. ↑ The Herdflutgraben served to divert the water from the herds of the Himmelsfürster Pochwerke and Erzwäschen (cf. ID No. 09208662), which had been cleaned of ore-containing sludge in the sludge ponds below the Franconian Shaft (see ID No. 09208602). The “used” washing water was not returned to the mining storage and supply system for the water supply of mining and ore processing plants, but returned to the area's natural waters for further clarification. The aim was to keep the impact water from the water wheels, water column machines and turbines free of contamination and prevent damage to the valuable machine systems and unnecessary sludge entry into the water draining tunnels. In addition, the Herdflutgraben absorbed part of the water that was withdrawn from the impact water from the Franken Schacht and the Albert Schacht (cf. the material component document - ID no. 09208116). The associated trigger rose mouth holes are still preserved.
    The narrow artificial moat, which partly descends steeply on the slope, with walls made of dry stone masonry, has partly disappeared south of the Frankenschacht heap and today's landfill, but is otherwise visible in the area and continues to carry water. It flows into the Striegis above a weir step. Its water could be taken from the water there via another artificial ditch to act on the Lochmühle (see ID no. 08991254) and the Seven Planet Treasure Trove (see ID no. 09208597). As a functional component of the ore processing plants, the Herdflutgraben is a testament to the careful handling of the miners with the useful, but also dangerous water, which was not "kept high" at any price. It is therefore of importance in the history of mining and essential for understanding the ensemble of the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube. (LfD / 2013).
