The mining of copper and silver ore, potash salt and coal was the main source of income for people in the Mansfeld region for around eight centuries. According to old chronicles, copper slate was first mined here in 1199 by two miners. In the following decades, the valuable rock was only mined in quarries close to the surface. From around the middle of the 15th century, when these easily accessible deposits were exhausted, ore was brought to light by mining. As early as the end of the 16th century, around 1,000 tons of copper were being mined in more than 120 shafts by around 1,500 miners in the Mansfeld region
