Důl Kladno v Libušíně
A coal mine which started in 1899 as Schoeller mine (after Gustav Schoeller, Austrian mining entrepreneur). From 1946, it was named Zdeněk Nejedlý Mine (historian, musicologist and minister of culture in communist government), from 1951 Nejedlý I Mine. After 1990 again renamed: Kladno Mine in Libušín. Terminated 2002 after 2001 methane explosion with four casualties.
The mine was active exactly 100 years and total of 45,768,396 tons of coal was mined. Depth of mine pit 533 m, shaft bottom 518 m. The famous burning dumps of Schoeller mine are now fully recultivated.
Note on the mineral list:
The famous minerals from the burning coal dumps in the Kladno area occurred mainly here, but also in other mines with (temporarily) burning dumps. Since the literature only rarely gives the specific mine, these minerals are listed under Kladno.
