    The Heinrich-Kocher-Stollen near Wölsendorf i. d. Upper Palatinate was a smaller Flussspatbergwerk and as a mine pit from 1937 to 1953 in operation.
    The pit was named after the since 1923 employed by the then Rüttgerswerke plant manager of the Flußspatgrube Marienschacht, which went into operation in 1896.
    In 1927, the union Wölsendorf was founded and the Marienschacht - to the aforementioned Heinrich-Kocher-Stollen was always counted as part of the business - is taken over by the company Riedel de Haen and ordered Heinrich Kocher as mine director.
    The Kocherstollen with a length of 300m opened a Flußspatgang with a thickness between 0.80 and 1.50 meters. Over a crosscut of 150m length and a Bremsberg the 30m sole was unlocked.

      Here, fluorspar was once mined. Today, the entrance to the tunnel has been spilled for safety reasons.

        Great information about the mining on Wölsenberg, unfortunately, the entrance z.Z. spilled.
