A day shaft was sunk near Werlau in 1936 (driven vertically into the earth). This shaft, initially called Adolf Hitler shaft, was later renamed Werlauer shaft.
The old name is still shadowy but easy to read on the huge concrete wall.

The eventful history of the Werlauer Grube is well described on the board next to the walled-up entrance.
