Beginnings in the colliery processing
In 1885/1886 the shaft of the Hilterberg colliery was sunk. [1] It had a depth of 63.92 meters. The shaft was connected to the Karlsstollen, built in 1872, in which Wealden coal was also mined. [2] Seam 3 (Schmalebank) and Seam 4 (Dickebank) were also mined on several levels. [3] The equipment included two steam boilers. At times, up to 213 miners were employed in the tunnels of the Hilterberg colliery.

The tunnel is located in the forest and is difficult to find because the paths are partially overgrown.
