Philippi Jakobi , also Philippi Jacobi , was a tin mine on the western slope of the Rabenberg in the Johanngeorgenstadt mountain area in the western Ore Mountains.

history

Philippi Jacobi is one of the oldest mines in the region and consisted of the mine and a laterally positioned Stolln . It is believed that it was in operation before Johanngeorgenstadt was founded. In 1697, the Johanngeorgenstädter citizens cleared the mine again by driving a tunnel and operated it as a community tunnel . Only the so-called Philippi-Jakobi main course was mined in the granite. At Luciae 1716 the mine fell into the open again with a recess of 8000 florins . It was then taken up again and in 1729 the tunnel was cut through .

However, this operation was also closed again and resumed in 1798 by a union . The Rabenberger Haus served as the hut house until its owner Christian Friedrich Opp gave notice. At the request of the trades, an increased fine was levied for mining operations and an advance payment was therefore waived. Between 1806 and 1810 up to 40 miners were employed and made a profit . To accomplish this, three stamping mills and a piece of art were built, which was supplied with impact water from the Seifenbach valley via an artificial ditch , the Jakobi artificial ditch . Since this was soon no longer sufficient, the higher-lying ditch system was also used, which brought water from the pond not far from the Preisshaus via the former Upper Walts-Gotter ditch and then the ditch to the Drei Brüder Gesinnung treasure trove . The course of this trench can still be seen in the area today.

When the dismantling came to a standstill, God's help was also given to deeper heir tunnels and treasure trove at the Schwarzwasserbrücke near the old Däumerhaus . The civil engineering had to be stopped due to the ingress of groundwater. After the mining operation was no longer profitable, the stamping works and artifacts were sold. The union was consolidated with that of Archangel Gabriel Maßen near Johanngeorgenstadt.

In October 1913, the mine was again awarded and by the end of 1922 deadlines kept.
