The miner in the habitus of that time, with a torch, a so-called oil frog, in his right hand and a pick on his left shoulder, wearily leaves the tunnel after his shift.
This monument was erected in 2003
to commemorate 400 years of lignite mining on the Meißner.
But especially in memory of the miners who remained in the mine and in remembrance of 10 generations of people who once lived and worked in the Schwalbental mine.
