Historic Fe-mines on the Herrenkögerl, S slope of Aflenzer Staritzen.
Located 13.4 km S of Mariazell.
The Gollrad mine is the 3rd largest iron mine in Styria. First documented in the year 1025 and closed in 1896 for economic reasons (no railway connection and the Erzberg produced iron at lower cost). The mine reached its peak around 1857 when 259’262 centners (14’552 metric tons) of ore were mined and about 120 miners were employed.
The ore consisted mainly of siderite, hematite, pyrite and some chalcopyrite.
The ore was roasted in Gollrad (remains of the ovens have been preserved) and melted in 4 furnaces also in Gollrad from 1342 till about 1500. Later the roasted ore was shipped to the blast furnaces in nearby Gusswerk.
The works in Gusswerk were a major supplier of artillery pieces to the k.u.k. army, it was also well known for its iron art castings (like brooches, bracelets and necklaces).
Over these years more than 15 adits have been driven into the S slope of the Aflenzer Staritzen with many crosscuts. The adits were named Annastollen, Andrästollen, Ferdinandstollen, Johannistollen, Josefistollen, Konradstollen, Matthäistollen, Mischenriegelstollen, Mittellauf, Peterstollen, Wasserstollen and others.
Most notable the Josefistollen with a length of approx. 1’200 m, which is still partly accessible. At approx. N47.64915 E15.30201.
Other adits at approx.

Lagerstätten Inventar No 127 and 130 (gbanr 138.713).
