From 1921-1923 and from 1937-1967 the Franziska mine

Mining barite (barite, BaS04) extracted.

All barite pits in the Richelsdorf Mountains were in

Year 1967 closed due to exhaustion of the Spat reserves. So it happened

also the "abandonment" (closure) of the Franziska mine in the spring of 1967.

The former Franziska barite mine can be found in Braunhausen. Bats can be observed in the tunnel (right).

In summer one encounters rare orchids on the limestone grassland near the former pit.
