The Richard Stolln is a tunnel in the Johanngeorgenstadt mountain area in the Saxon Ore Mountains .

location

On the middle Fastenberg , on which Johanngeorgenstadt extends, several pits were operated for the extraction of directly adjacent ore veins . This also included the Richard Stolln , which was driven into the Fastenberg immediately south of the Georg Wagsfort Stolln and which is still preserved today as an inaccessible technical monument . After a bismuth ore leading passage was opened up in a quarry operated there in 1893, the Richard Stolln was set here in the same year at 685.5 m above sea level .

The union Vereinigt Feld im Fastenberge drove this tunnel up until 1896 to explore the bismuth. Further work z. B. 1901 were not permanent because of a bismuth price reduction. From the end of 1907, the tunnel was regularly driven again until 1910 for uranium exploration in the George Wagsfort Spat . After an unprofitable ridge construction was discontinued in 1910, its operational history at Vereinigt Feld finally ended.

The hut was located near the Stollnmundloche directly on Wittigsthalstrasse (from 1935 No. 35). However, while the tunnel is in operation, Vereinigt Feld im Fastenberge does not provide evidence of any expenditure on a hut house. It was expanded into a residential building by the company Nestler & Breitfeld and demolished around 1953 due to the space requirements of the expanding uranium mining of Wismut AG .
