"... You are in front of an erased (dismantled) passage crevice, which lies in an excavated hollow. This area was previously completely closed and was already dismantled in this way by the miners in the Celtic times. This" type "means that the Work by hand and the available tools, which consisted of no more than a pick and shovel, was carried out.

The so-called ore vein protruded to the surface. That was mostly just "the tip of the iceberg", because only the tip of the vein protruded and consisted of brown iron stone, which you could see on the "Mining Monument" stage. In the Siegerland these ore veins can be imagined in terms of their shape like huge underground trees, the tops of which protrude from the ground (vein deposits). Since the surrounding soil tended to slide when it rained when the earth around the vein was dug up, the area was excavated over a wide area, as can be clearly seen at this point. After the so-called "iron hat" had been dismantled, the so-called conveyor reel was used, whereby the mined ore-containing rock was lifted to the surface of the earth by buckets and the crevice grew deeper. As the depth grew, so did the dangers and problems. The miners working below were injured or even killed by broken rocks. Groundwater and rainwater also became a problem, as a result of which the workplace of the miner working below was often flooded. This problem was solved by a tunnel, which was driven (built) into the mountain, lying a little lower on the slope, in order to follow (mine) the vein from bottom to top. This is how we proceeded at this point. ... "
