The Sieberstollen is a water solution tunnel of the Upper Harz mining industry . The tunnel got its name from the Sieber , into which it leads its water. His mouth hole is also on Sieberberg.
A 11.7 km long section of the 13.1 km long tunnel Sieber in 2010 as part of the Upper Harz Water Regale for World Heritage of UNESCO appointed.
history
When the highest yields were achieved in the 25 mines around Sankt Andreasberg at the beginning of the 18th century , the limits of water solution were reached . The Grünhirscher tunnel was available as the deepest water solution tunnel .
Construction and operation phase
In 1716 work began on the Sieber tunnel at the foot of the Sieberberg. The tunnel was driven through only with mallets and iron in the opposite direction with the help of four light holes .
The distances were:
- from the mouth hole to the first light hole (Sieberberg): 150 laughs or 289 meters
- from the 1st to the 2nd light hole (Sieberberg): 295 Lachter or 568 meters ( breakthrough 1730)
- from the 2nd to the 3rd light hole (Prinz Maximilian Tagessschacht): 382 Lachter or 735 meters (breakthrough 1746)
- from the 3rd to the 4th light hole (Five Books of Moses Day Shaft): 262 laughs or 504 meters (breakthrough 1742)
- from the 4th light hole to the Felicitas Tagesschacht: 249 Lachter or 479 meters (breakthrough 1739)
- from Felicitas to God's grace daily shaft: 237 laughs or 456 meters (breakthrough 1754)
- From God's grace to the Samson pit : 159 laughs or 306 meters (breakthrough 1747)
- from the Samson pit to the Catharina Neufang shaft: 101 puddles or 194 meters (breakthrough 1754)
When the first construction phase was completed, the tunnel had a length of 1835 Lachtern or 3530 meters.
extension
In the following years the tunnel was expanded and connected to other pits. In 1804, for example, the tunnel with the Wennsglück mine opened up . In order to lift the pit water out of the mostly much deeper shafts, water wheels with a diameter of up to 12 meters were used. There were two water arts in the Samson Pit below the Sieberstollen.
Usage today
In 1910, the mining around Sankt Andreasberg was stopped and all mine workings below the Sieberstollen fell.
Two years later, a cave power plant was installed at a depth of 190 m in the Samson pit. It is one of two cavern power plants in the Samson mine that convert the hydropower from the Oder pond into electrical energy. The sieve tunnel directs the water into the sieves.
To this day, the Sieberstollen is the deepest water solution tunnel in the Sankt Andreasberger Revier.
Deepening in penetrating pits
The Sieberstollen is penetrable in the following depths with the mentioned pits:
- 1st light hole: 12.5 laughs (24 meters)
- 2nd light hole: 48 laughs (92 meters)
- Prince Maximilian: 48.5 laughs (93 meters)
- Five Books of Moses: 54.5 laughs (105 meters)
- Felicitas: 67.5 laughs (130 meters)
- Grace of God: 90 laughs (173 meters)
- Samson Pit: 97 laughers (187 meters)
- Catharina Neufang: 115 laughs (221 meters)
