The slag heap originally consisted of three houses: the still-existing, vacant "Haus Halde" from 1755 (base renewed in 1905, timber framing renewed in 1978, roof insulated in 2012), a second house that was demolished in the 1960s, and a horse stable, of which relatively little is known. The foremen lived in these houses, who oversaw mining in the Schwalbenthaler Erbstollen and the Carlsstollen and accounted for the extracted coal. The foundations of the wooden log cabin of the Eschwege Scouts (Silver Foxes) and the horse stable are still in place; the tunnels were secured in 2002.
