The 5th light hole for driving the deep Georg tunnel was to the left of or a large oak, which is visible 25 to 30 m away. Behind it lies the heap with the excavated material from the light hole and above all from the tunnel. The embankment on the left comes from the excavation of the house. This 5th light hole had a depth of approx. 100 m and created two additional starting points for the tunnel drive. The driving of the sweeping wheel to convey the excavated material and the driving of the artificial wheel to pump out the leachate was made possible with surcharge water, which was brought in via the Obere Eichelberger Graben created in 1777, which ended here.
In addition to the 6 specially sunk light holes, 9 mining shafts were available for driving this tunnel, i.e. a total of 31 starting points.
