On February 20, 1950, nine miners died in shaft 85 near the Drei-Brüder-Höhe. At that time, a shaft was flooded during exploratory blasting. The bismuth miners who worked there didn't stand a chance and drowned. It was mostly young miners between the ages of 18 and 34.

Witnesses to old mining history.
For example at Kiesholz:
Old mining (mainly silver-bearing copper ores)
1575 to around 1600 "Three Brothers Mine" other mines: e.g.
- from 1575 "St. Christoph",
"Faithful Savior",
"Resurrection of Christ"
- from 1709 "Young Three Brothers" union
- from 1822 "Old Three Brothers" union
- 1853/54 construction of the hut house, "New Three Brothers".
Mining ceased in the second half of the 19th century.
Uranium mining took place from 1947 to 1953.
The SAG Wismut built a winding tower on the former barrel-shaped "Christoph Schacht" shaft 85.
On February 20, 1950, water broke through on the floor of the "Neuglücker Stolln" with 9 deaths.
