The water tunnel of the Margaretha mine of the Rathscheck mining company in Nettesürsch was driven into the mountain up to the shaft in 1925. The water is channeled into the Nette.
The 220-meter-deep Margaretha mine has had a conveyor shaft since around 1900 and was closed in 1986.
From 1992 to 1996 it was operated with a serpentine tunnel as a slate conveyor ramp, which could be used to load lorries with slate.

With the two Mosel slate mines Katzenberg (Mayen) and Margareta (Polch) of the company I. B. Rathscheck Söhne KG, Moselschieferbergwerke, the largest slate production in Central Europe was located near Mayen in this region with - according to their own statements - a market share of 80%. The Margareta mine near Polch-Nettesürsch was in operation until 1996. It was accessed with a 485 m long conveyor ramp in the form of a helix, which enabled truck transport from underground.
