Faithful friendship
Faithful friendship is a disused mine in the Johanngeorgenstadt mining area in the Saxon Ore Mountains , which was operated until the first half of the 20th century. Notable mining was carried out on silver and cobalt.
history
The Loyalty Friendship Stolln was posted on the Mittlerer Fastenberg in the Külliggut area not far from Johanngeorgenstadt at 785 m above sea level. The Kirschbächel rises not far from here . The expectation of the Treue Freunder Berg building falls into the Reminiscere quarter of the year 1708. A self-wage union meets the Brüderlich Treue Spat after driving 110 m in the rock . Reminiscere 1718 the mine struck gold and brought out 403.5 kg of silver by the end of 1722. At the same time, cobalt, pebbles and bismuth were also mined. The neighboring treasure trove Glockenklang and Vogelgesangwas hit with a die in the treasure trove of faithful friendship . In order to avoid gang disputes, it was agreed on a 3- measure long joint pit field in the breakthrough area. In 1740 the two mines were united under the name Glockenklang und Treue Freundlichkeit. From 1777 only loyalty friendship again . The Glockenklang Stolln is managed as an independent and within the deadline. The mine was continuously in operation with fluctuating operating results and from 1865 onwards mainly mined bismuth. In 1831 the tunnel was prepared over a length of 500 m for mining with Hungarian Hunten. Between 1835 and 1889, molding sand was also mined underground. In addition, some green fluorspar was found as a special mineral in 1837.
From 1897 until the end of 1900, dismantling was on schedule . In May 1901, operations were resumed by a new company. From 1904 onwards, bismuth ores were delivered again, but only 0.97 tons in total until 1907. From 1915 the mine was again on time. 1922 consolidated the mine with the union United Field in Fastenberge . The work in the mine field was carried out by the Wilder Mann mine . The Loyalty Friendship Stolln was provided with a track and used for promotion. The hat house of the treasure trove has been preserved and is now used as a residential building.
In the vicinity of the hut house, a granite stone with a portrait of and a memorial plaque for the mountain master Wilhelm Fischer stood on an old dump until after 1930 .
In March 1948, the bismuth object 12 began 220 m east of the Treue Friendship Gallery with the depth of shaft 58 . The client was object 01 from Wismut AG . The shaft was named as the Neptun shaft after the name of the blind shaft between the Glockenklang Stolln and the Treue Friendship Stolln . Uranium mining gained no importance. He was hired again on July 1, 1950. The tunnel itself was examined by the geological department of object 01. However, no viable uranium mineralization was found.
Say for loyalty friendship
The legend of a ghostly man, which Johann Christian Engelschall recorded in his chronicle of Johanngeorgenstadt in 1723 and which was taken up in Ernst Köhler's book of legends of the Erzgebirge in 1886, is entwined with the former mine .
Allegedly the following happened on August 7th, 1719 in the mine "Treuefreundschaft". When the miner Johann Christoph Schlott had boiled out at noon, he heard another person coughing against the shaft. He said the Steiger drove there to inspect his work. But after no one had come to Schlott's, he wanted to leave. No sooner had he turned around than he noticed someone coming towards him from the shaft with burning pit lights. This confirmed Schlott in his earlier assumption that it was the Steiger again. But when they finally collided on the route, he noticed that it was a very short man in a brown smock. The moment Schlott drove past, he hung his pit light on the rock so that it got stuck there immediately, put down his bag and said to Schlott: Is it already a shift? , because the miners left an hour earlier that day because of the funeral of the Wittihstal hammer mill owner. At this address, Schlott shuddered. He hurried away and found no more workers in the pit. He then related this encounter to Steiger, who at first didn't want to know much about it, but later had to show Schlott the place where the male had hung his pit light. There one perceived a small chasm and a shot was drilled at the point which opened a passage from which a good yield was made several quarters in a row.
More recent research made it possible to obtain new insights into Johann Christoph Schlott, named in the legend. He was born on October 3, 1685 in Zwota in the Saxon Vogtland and came to Johanngeorgenstadt as a manual worker. In the "Faithful Friendship", he hired himself as a miner and later became a hat man, so he lived in the colliery or hut house. He died there on December 2, 1746. His son Johann Augustin Schlott (1716–1770) also became a hat man and was last mill master at the unexpected Glücker Pochhaus.
