It's funny how people are arguing today especially about the grammatical gender for the place name of the Waldsee, whether it's called the or the old shaft, instead of primarily emphasizing the beauty and relaxation of these remains of the "Helenen's shaft" ( :-). Although August Han actually wanted to find coal in 1855 and then came across clay, clay was finally mined and bricks made from it for more than 100 years.
