The Viktorsfeld mine was in the Burbacher district in the southern Siegerland . The pit was one of the larger pits in Buchhellertal .

In the four passageways of the pit, there were cords and nests of lead glaze ores , some with zinc blende and copper pebbles . The lying corridor was 200 m long and consisted of two means. These funds were 0.05 m thick and mostly consisted of glaze ores. The two means in the hanging corridor were 140 m long and contained 0.025–0.15 m thick cords.

The pit was first mentioned in 1712. A tunnel was built in the 18th century. She was until 1817 in operation and received 1,832 different names for their re-commissioning: Bleiberg , glaze Berg , Victor field . Civil engineering began in 1841, replacing tunnel construction. The shaft was built until 1862, had a size of 2.6 × 4 m and a depth of 95 m. From 1852 a steam engine with 36 HP was used for conveying and a water column machine with 20 HP for drainage. Between 1841 and 1862, 495 t of lead glaze ore, 4 t of zinc ore and 2.5 t of iron ore were mined in civil engineering.

The mine had a Belgian owner and 54 employees. Lead glaze ores , zinc ore and iron stone were promoted . In 1862 the Viktorsfeld mine was closed. In 1865 the mine was bought by the nearby Peterszeche .
