Mining was already taking place here in Roman times. From 1941 onwards it was no longer profitable to operate such small mines!

Mining has a long tradition in the Palatinate region, dating back to Celtic times in some areas. Since 2006, the "Grube Maria" iron ore mine, over 250 years old and last operated in 1923, has been open to visitors. A tour of its tunnels and shafts offers an impressive insight into the hard work underground. The mine has two levels (in mining terms, "levels"). The main tunnel on the lower level is approximately 250 meters long and completely straight, so that from its rear end, the entrance can still be seen as a small, bright dot. Here and in several side tunnels, you can learn a great deal about the mined rocks, the iron ore deposits, and mining techniques. A shaft with a spiral staircase leads to the tunnel on the upper level, approximately 15 meters higher, which crosses narrow galleries dating back to the 18th century. https://www.pfalz.de/de/sehenswuerdigkeit/bergbauerlebniswelt-imsbach Opening hours of the "Grube Maria" Mining Museum and Visitor Mine: https://www.bew-imsbach.de/index.php/de/oeffnungszeiten

The current image of the mines dates back to around 1900, when the ore was mined in open-cast mines. Some of the older tunnels can still be seen in the impressive open-cast mine walls. The minerals known from there were found in the open-cast mines. However, here too, some of the valuable sites were completely mined by collectors a long time ago. The dumps no longer exist; they fell victim to the leaching process and the construction of the military airfield in Sembach. https://www.mineralienfreunde-der-pfalz.de/fundstellen/bergwerke/imsbach/katharina1

The former iron ore mine Maria has a long history: In the early 1770s, the postmaster Franz Didier from Kaiserslautern had iron ore digging carried out in various places on the southern edge of the Donnersberg massif. Another concession was granted around 130 years later to the Hochfels union under the name "Maria". This concession from 1902 led to further excavations. However, it soon became apparent that the ore was not worth mining and the work was stopped again.
