Otzberg, Odenwald, Hesse, Germany
Otzberg, Odenwald, Hessen, Deutschland
In the area south of Otzberg, around Hering and Zipfen, iron ore (mainly hematite) and baryte were mined from a swarm of SE-trending baryte veins since the middle ages (first documented working in 1472). Operations continued with interruptions until 1958.
The veins are up to 2.5 m wide and can be traced about 500 m along strike. They were initially opened up from shallow pits, not more than 15 m deep, traces of which can still be found at many places in the area.
