From this panel, one can see the mining area of the Bockmühle mine, or Bockmühle Altes Werk (Old Works). The survey of the Längenfeld mine and its operation took place in 1739 and 1754/55. In 1770, the mine was closed and subsequently free of mining. In 1773, it was re-enfeoffed to Mathias Spennemann. Mining in the Windmühle seam (Dreckbank) was closed. In 1800, partial re-operations took place under the name Bockmühle Altes Werk (Old Works). The Uranus shaft was repaired and mining began. Halt in 1805 and closed in 1810. Re-operation and mining at the Friederike shaft. Consolidation with Glücksburg around 1813, operations at the Jupiter shaft. The Eugenia and Carl shafts were in operation between 1815 and 1820. In 1822, mining began via the Eugenia, Carl and Ende shafts, and was closed on April 5, 1823.
