Shaft No. 5 was part of the modern copper shale mining of the post-war period. In 1950, it was opened for the extraction of copper shale. Still visible are the - heavily overgrown with vegetation - spoil heap and the foundation of the winding engine. A viewing bench offers a beautiful view from the slope of the Hornburger Sattel into the Wäschetal. Mining in this region is considerably older. Already in the 12th century, the Cistercians of the monastery in Sittichenbach mined copper shale here. The old monk's adit is evidence of this.
