The Neue Johanneser Schacht was an investigation shaft between Clausthal-Zellerfeld and Wildemann in the Upper Harz.
history
After the end of the First World War , which resulted in overexploitation around Clausthal, Preussag took over the Clausthal Mining Inspection in 1924. This takeover was followed in the same year by an exploration program to explore the Zellerfelder Gangzug and Haus Herzberger Gangzug in depth.
For this purpose, the New Johanneser Shaft was sunk from 1926 to 1928 . At the same time, the Neue Haus Herzberger Schacht (Haus Herzberger Gangzug) was sunk. Both bays then had a depth of nearly 630 meters and was the deepest stretch of water durchschlägig .
Exploration was unsuccessful and the mines in the region became increasingly uneconomical. On January 31, 1930, the wooden headframe of the New Johanneser Shaft burned down . This was known as the "death torch of the Upper Harz mining industry" and was seen as the symbolic end of mining in the region.
After mining ceased in 1930, the destroyed headframe was replaced by a lined steel headframe with a traction sheave . The shaft was used until 1980 to carry out revision work in the Tiefen Georg tunnel and the Ernst August tunnel . These tunnels had to be maintained for the hydropower plants of the Kaiser Wilhelm shaft and Ottiliae shaft .
In the early 1980s, the first 60 meters of the shaft were filled with concrete and the headframe was torn down.
