Wilder Mann (Johanngeorgenstadt)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilder Mann is a disused mine on Fastenberg in the Johanngeorgenstadt mining area in the Saxon Ore Mountains , in whose mine field mining work was carried out until the first half of the 20th century. After mining for the time being on silver ores and pebbles, the focus shifted in the years from 1855 to bismuth ores.

Surname

Wilder Mann is the established name nowadays, whereas Wildermann can usually be read in the files on the company's history . In 1870, after some misunderstandings , the mine management officially gave the name Wildermann Fundgrube .

history

The Wildermann treasure trove was muted on the upper Hinteren Fastenberg near Eibenstocker Straße near Johanngeorgenstadt in 1707 with a tunnel cut at 805 m above sea level. In 1714 she struck gold and delivered 42.6 kg of silver by 1722. From 1735 it was operated together with the neighboring Grauer Mann mine .

On November 8, 1823, the two mines Weißer Schwan and Wildemann Stolln were consolidated for economic reasons , whereas in February 1852 Weißer Schwan was released again. From 1832 on, Wildemann Stolln , who was part of the treasure trove, was driven into the sulfur pebble camp Trau und Bau auf Gott . To process the ores extracted there, a stamping mill and a pothead washing machine were built on the Steinbach in 1853.

In the years after 1860, the economic conditions of the treasure trove improved due to new exploration and mining of good bismuth ores in the area of ​​the former treasure trove of Glück und Segen and Archfather Jacob . In these long-dilapidated mine fields, new routes and drifts were made at the level of the Engelschall Stolln , the Archangel Stolln and the Adolphus Stolln . The area of Emperor Joseph and Sophia was also explored.

After the work on the Glück und Segen Spat was completed , the focus shifted back to the vicinity of the original mine field. The still existing frontier Baude marked roughly the area where the angel joy morning walk was disrupted wismuterzführend. The Engelsfreuder Tagessschacht , which stood there about 85 m north of Eibenstocker Strasse, was sunk here in old mining down to the Graue Mann tunnel with a shallow depth of about 46 m. On the dump stood a wooden chew with a prayer room.

This shaft was discarded in 1904 due to acute stability problems. As a replacement, the Neu Engelsfreude day shaft was sunk approx. 50 m to the west . The Graue Mann Stolln was reached in 1906. The Wildemann Stolln level was reached in 1911 at a depth of approx. 69 m. In addition, in the same year the shaft was converted from a manual reel to mechanical conveyance. A reel with a drum diameter of 1000 mm was installed, driven by a benzene motor. Funding was provided via a wooden conveyor frame. It was possible to lift iron conveyor barrels of up to 500 kg from a depth of 80 m.

On September 13, 1922, the Fundgrube consolidated with the Union United Field in Fastenberge . Wildermann then remained a mining division of Vereinigt Feld im Fastenberge until 1945 . During this time, bismuth ores with a metal content of 13 to 26% were extracted on the Engelsfreudner Morgengang , which is up to 4 m thick .

By order of the Saxon Ministry of Finance, a new era in the history of mining began in Johanngeorgenstadt near Vereinigt Feld im Fastenberge on October 3, 1933. One of the first works was the experience of the Neu Engelsfreude Tageschacht on the love of God's tunnel sole . In January 1934, after reaching the starting point of the manhole, the shooting of the filling area could begin. The breakthrough in the higher Wildemann tunnel finally took place in October 1934. The old conveyor system was also demolished in 1934. As a replacement, the Puschmann construction company built a winding tower made of brickwork. The shaft received an electric tower hoisting machine with a 12 kW three-phase motor.

In this condition, Wismut AG took over the shaft as shaft 56 in February 1948 . Funding was stopped as early as 1951. The winding tower was blown up in the late 1950s as part of a GST exercise. At the present time, only the heavily overgrown heap and a fenced-in depression are reminiscent of what was once mining.

The second economic mainstay of the Wildermann Fundgrube , the mining of pebbles, was hampered, among other things, by sales difficulties. In 1863, the long-planned daily shaft on the Gottes Glück Morgengang was tackled. The starting point of the god Glücker Richtschacht is about 220 m northeast of the Neu Engelsfreude Tageschacht . This shaft should enable the more profitable extraction of pebbles from the trau and building on god's camps . The shaft was then completed in 1868. At first there was only a wooden bucket on the small heap . Wismut AG took over this shaft in 1948 under number 55 and continued to sink it to the depth of God's love . It developed into the main shaft in this small area. A pointed cone heap was heaped up over a terraced area. Both manholes had a joint manhole administration, which was dissolved on July 1, 1951 due to a lack of prospects and the production was thus discontinued.
