Grube Dorothea, Freudenstadt, Schwarzwald, Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland
Barite vein in sandstone, carrying silver and copper ores. The mine was abandoned in 1784.
Located 2 km NW of Freudenstadt.
NOTE:
In the early 1990s (1991), material from a trial adit of the Sachtleben Co. to this baryte vein ('Dorothea-Untersuchungsstollen' = Dorothea exploration adit) was dumped at the dump of the Clara mine, Oberwolfach.
The low grade of the material extracted led to the stop of further mining activities.
