St. Wolfgang Stolln
St. Wolfgang was a tunnel in the Johanngeorgenstadt mountain area in the Saxon Ore Mountains .
location
On the Rabenberg between Johanngeorgenstadt and Breitenbrunn / Erzgeb. Several pits were operated in the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th centuries to mine directly adjacent ore veins . This also included St. Wolfgang Stolln , muted in the Schwarzwassertal , which was in operation before Johanngeorgenstadt was founded in 1654. From the hut located on a rocky group, the Felshaus am Schwarzwasser , which is still preserved today in the form expanded by the factory owner J. Beyreuther, emerged, which Schwarzenberger Straße passed before reaching Johanngeorgenstadt over the Rothe Bridge .
The owner of the Felshaus Oswald Solbrich had an accident on Shrovetide in 1670, when he and Georg Gündel explored the St. Wolfgang Stolln. He wasn't saved until the next morning.
The area of the dilapidated Stollnmundloch is also known as the robber's cave and was a destination for excursions from Johanngeorgenstadt until after the Second World War.
