Handstein Mine
Highlight • Historical Site
The mining of the ironstone camp was carried out from the outset initially in the open pit, including through the Handsteinstollen, the 30 m depth introducing Amalienstollen and the other 48 m lower located Georgstollen. The civil engineering went underneath through a blind shaft of the Georgstollensohle; At 30 m, 55 m, 95 m and 175 m civil engineering floors were used.
In addition to a former coal-mine building, above all, a mighty concrete wall of the loading facility with openings in the filling shafts and the entrance to the tunnel of the Georgsstollen (?) With a mouth hole have been preserved.
