The mine worked a baryte(-fluorite) vein with Pb-Cu-Ag ores (hosted in gneiss). The mine was located at the east side of the valley, dumps and galleries are overgrown.
Main ore was galena.

Mining started in 1790 and continued intermittently until the 1840s.
In the 1980s the dumps were visible near by the "Grüner Baum" guest house.
During this time a good occasion for mineral collectors.
Nowadays totally overgrown and privately owned. The dump material is mostly from Friedrich Christian mine.
