    Tips

    In 1893–1894, the Lapp company from Aschersleben commissioned drilling to a depth of 320 meters at the Wildfrauenloch mine to search for hard coal. The drilling was aborted due to a pyrite fault. The traces of coal discovered were too small for geological classification.

    Later drilling at the Potzberg reached depths of over 1,000 meters.
