As an authentic facility, the striking double-slit hut impressively conveys the processing techniques of the blue gold. At the beginning of the 1980s, the double gap hut was included in the list of industrial monuments of the GDR. Until 1993, the building was saved from final decay with numerous funding measures and rescue operations.

A must for anyone interested in the old tradition of slate mining in Thuringia! Take a look around the Thuringian villages and towns - all the slate houses! Weatherproof and durable. Here it was dismantled and processed. Today extraction is too expensive in Germany - because of the people! The slate now comes from China & Co.
