Old Iron and copper mine (18th century), located inside the Lichtenberg mining area, not far away from Friedrich-Wilhelm-Stollen (visitors mine).
Only copper and siderite veins, no fluorite (prospecting in the 20th century). Some shafts inside, one is interconnected with the visitors mine.
In the late 1980s a good locality for copper minerals, discovered by some local collectors. The mine was sealed in 2011 by the mining authority, mineral collecting is no longer possible, except maybe micromounts inside the old dumps.
