    The pits 'Katharina 1' and 'Katharina 2' are among the oldest in the Imsbach mountain area. They were also probably the most productive mining sites for copper ore. Cobalt was also found here and occasionally some silver was extracted.

    The name of these pits is probably derived from St. Katharina, who was venerated as one of the 14 helpers in need, because documents from the 18th century also refer to the "St. Catharinengrube" (today "Katharina 2"). The Katharina 1 mine used to be called "Katharina Erbstollen".

    In all honesty, you don't see a lot of details because of the distance. But you already get an impression of the size of the pit at that time.

    Due to the distance you don't see many details, but the greetings from the former mining area
