Hiking

The building that can still be seen was the former goat stable. The Obersteigerhaus can only be seen in old photos. A nice lost place.

The climber lived here with his family from 1908 to 1945. At that time, the company Friedrich Krupp AG operated the mine.

Hiking

The only lost place on the Fortuna mine site. The outlines of the property above the engine room and the mine elevator can still be seen, even if they are overgrown. All that remains is the goat shed. The head miner lived here with his family until the mine closed, isolated from the settlements of Oberbiel, Niederbiel and Hermannstein. In 1945, a robbery and murder took place here, which was never solved.

More details in the photo with the sign. There is nothing on the Internet: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grube_Fortuna_(Solms)
