Mining used to be of great importance in the region, which today is part of the Lahn-Dill-Bergland Nature Park. Here, on the north-west slope of the upper Schelde valley, there were many pits over a length of about 5 km. One of them is the “Beschertes Glück” opencast mine. Iron ore and pyrites were mined here in the 19th century.
Imagine how difficult this work must have been! And yet an average of 6 men - which corresponds to around 1% of Eibach's population - worked in the "Beschertes Glück" pit (source: outdooractive.com/de/bergwerk/lahntal/stilllegee-grube-beschertes-glueck- /17531425/)
