List of mines in the Wetterau

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This incomplete list of mines in the Wetterau includes mines, subdivided according to the respective district as well as the cities and municipalities there. Since the Wetterau lies entirely in Hesse, there is no breakdown by federal state.

The Wetterau is not necessarily known for mining activities. However, lignite was mined here to a greater extent (near Wölfersheim ). Iron and sometimes other ores were extracted to a small extent. The mining in the Wetterau was only of regional importance.
