Rosengarten Stolln
The Stolln Rosengarten is a former mining facility in Johanngeorgenstadt , Erzgebirgskreis , Saxony .
The mouth of the tunnel is located to the west of the Eleonorenweg, which used to be called Hohegenister Weg, as it led from the center of the mountain town of Johanngeorgenstadt to the Hohes Genist pit or the Ascension of Christ . The mouth of the hole at 757.14 m NN lying Stollns was walled in 1799 what today the corresponding year and the letters "CFRG Stolln" (= C hur F ürstlicher R osen G types Stolln) remember. The crossed course swords indicate that the tunnel passed into electoral property in 1799. At the same time as this tunnel, the Gegenglück tunnel in the Lehmergrund , which was closed in 1777, was reopened in 1799 . However, the high expectations in the Stolln rose garden were not fulfilled . In 1862 the city had part of the tunnel water lent for water supply. In 1864 the defection took place as a royal tunnel.
After the Second World War, from March 1, 1948, it was used for mining by Wismut AG and was given the name Schacht 161 , which was last remembered by the date 1960, which is no longer available today. After mining ceased, the tunnel mouth hole was filled with earth and only exposed again at the suggestion of a local history student at the end of the 1980s and expertly renovated at the beginning of the 2000s.
