The Laurentius-Erbstollen was part of the Laurentius colliery of the same name, Vavrinec in Czech. The tunnel was started in 1749 with the intention of undercutting and draining all former mine workings of the Wolfgang * and Laurentius (Vavrinec) collieries on the Plattenberg (Blatensky vrch). From its mouth, the tunnel was driven in a north-westerly direction in the Mayer vein and led under the workings of the Wolfgang and Laurentius collieries (approx. 70m below the current level of the Wolfspinge (Vlci jámy). The drainage at the Plattenberg thus made it possible to exploit further ore veins According to preserved sources, the Laurentius Erbstollen was 1600m long and was also equipped with a large pump art (water lifting machine), which was driven by the waters of the nearby Plattner art ditch (Blatensky kanál). reached a thickness of 30-45cm - but it was only very irregularly mineralized and the mined ore was not of particularly high quality.
