    There is not much left of the powder tower. Gunpowder for ore mining used to be stored here. A sign indicates a planned reconstruction of the powder tower.

      Here are the remains of the former powder tower, which has been in the process of being reconstructed for years. Gunpowder was needed to mine the ore and this was stored in a deposit, the powder tower, about 300 meters from the former Barbara shaft.

        Unfortunately, the initiator of the powder tower reconstruction, Hans Prem from Traßlberg (formerly Berghammer bike shop in Witzlhof and then local home care worker) passed away in early 2020. He has done a great job in preserving and remembering the Montan heritage in the Amberg-Sulzbach region.
