Mining history
In 1748 a seam was opened up. On 5 May of 1759 was a length field in the area Zum Wiesengrund awarded . From 1769 the mine was in operation for several years. In 1794 the St. Gregorius field was measured . On March 2, 1795, the Längenfeld St. Gregorius extension was awarded. In October 1824 a dilapidated shaft was cleared and put back into operation. In the following year, the Georg shaft was sunk . The shaft was driven by a göpel. From 1827 the mine was only in operation for a while. In 1830 the Hermine, Gustav, Fanny and Laura shafts were in operation. Schacht Hermione was equipped with a horse peg. On October 31, 1835, the operation was stopped until the deeper solution by the St. Johannes Erbstollen . On February 17, 1836, the tunnel was granted hereditary rights. The Stollenmundloch was at a depth 170 meters from + NN , the tunnel was east ascended . In 1839 an experimental shaft was sunk. In October 1840 the mine was put back into operation. In the same year, the tonnage Georg shaft was sunk deeper. The shaft now had a shallow depth of 34 laughs and was thus below the bottom of the St. Georg Erbstollen . From 1842 the mine was closed by the St. Johannes Erbstollen. In 1845 the Pferdegöpel shaft George was in promotion . On August 11, 1854, the right to inherit the tunnel was revoked.
