The Georg mine was an iron ore mine in the municipality of Willroth. The headframe, now an industrial monument, can still be seen from miles away in the region.

After the Georg pit closed in 1965, it was registered as an industrial monument in 1988 and restored. It can be visited from April to October and every 3rd Saturday of the month and of course there is something to refresh yourself!
