The Philippshoffnung mine in Siegen was an iron and cobalt ore mine . It was considered the most important cobalt mine in the Siegen II mountain area and was located in the Siegtal in the "Eintracht" area near the Rosterberg .

The pit was built on several passageways . These were divided into two groups. The western group included the remedies Philip's Hope , Elias and Adelheid . These were 0.1–1.5 m thick . The eastern group consisted of the Buscher gangways, which were 280-300 m long and 0.3-2.5 m thick. The resources of the mine carried iron ore, cobalt and also a small amount of gold and copper. Roofing slate was also removed .

The pit was first mentioned in 1740. In 1829 the 38 m long Christinenglücker Erbstollen was built . On July 10, 1841, the Philippshoffnung mine field was merged from the individual fields of Friedenshoffnung , Silvester , Hinterster Busch and Quertrumm , which were consolidated in the ownership of the same union . In 1845 over 20 miners worked in the mine. Between 1835 and 1854 a total of 11,717 t of cobalt ore were mined. Soon after, the mine was shut down as the buses were substantial. In 1928 it was opened again. A year later a shaft was sunk. In 1940 the mine was finally closed.
