Text from notice board "Loreley rocks of the Moselle"
The "Moselloreley" - a natural monument - rises almost vertically from the banks of the Moselle. From 1852 to 1872 and from 1937 to 1939, copper ore and galena were mined in the rock massif.
Description of the mine from 1938: “There are two tunnels carved into the rock on different levels. In front of the higher one, a small working terrace has been created, on which there is a wooden shack that was created in visible half-timbering. The broken ore-bearing rock reaches the lower working terrace via a slide. At its upper and lower end there is a small building with a pent roof ... A boat brought the foreign and local miners to work and the ore about 2.5 km downstream to the processing plant on the Rondelbach, where it was prepared for smelting. The delivered material had to be washed there and probably crushed with hammers ... “During the Second World War, the tunnels served the population as a refuge from air raids. Today they are inhabited by bats, especially the upper one. Only the remains of a forge can be seen of the former company buildings. Despite the difficult and steep terrain, there are still cultivated vineyards in the "Moselloreley". In autumn, the grapes are transported by boat to the “Reinsporter Ufer” opposite. These boat trips are followed by many onlookers.
