List of mines in the Palatinate
Ore mining in the Palatinate mainly dealt with iron, copper and mercury. Iron and copper were mainly of local importance, mercury was traded supraregional. The coal reserves were small and only used locally. Mining on clay was also of supraregional importance .
Mining centers were at Donnersberg , especially Imsbach , at Stahlberg , at Lemberg , at Obermoschel , at Potzberg and at Kaiserslautern , as well as for clay deposits at Eisenberg . The earliest traces of mining come from Roman times (1st century AD), ore mining ended in the 1940s, and clay mining is still in progress. See also: Mining in the Palatinate .
Thunder Mountain
Mining in the Donnersberg region was mainly based on copper, cobalt and iron ores.
