location

The remains of the Radstube belonging to the Franzstollen are located on Büchenberg in the northern Harz not far from the federal highway 244 , which connects Wernigerode with Elbingerode (Harz). Only a few meters away from the Radstube leads the Weißkopfchaussee, which joins the Bundesstraße 244 at the former Bolmke Chausseehaus not far from the Schlosswasserhäuschen .

history

The former office of Elbingerode , on the border of which the Radstube is located, belonged to the Counts of Stolberg, who resided at Wernigerode Castle , until the 16th century . They lost the office of Elbingerode, which was very profitable due to the abundant mining, to the Dukes of Braunschweig, whereby it fell to the Electorate of Hanover in the 18th century and belonged to the Prussian Province of Hanover from 1867 .

In the years from 1694 to 1709 the neighboring Hartengrippenhagensberger adit was excavated , which was later called Franzstollen. The water coming from the tunnel was channeled into a ditch that operated the artificial bike hanging in the wheel room . The brick remains of the Radstube and parts of the dry stone wall of the moat are still preserved today.

monument

The structural remains of the former (art) wheel room of the Franzstollen are recorded together with the tunnel mouth hole as a monument under the registration number 094 55843 in the list of cultural monuments in Oberharz am Brocken .
