Hier wird ein Stück deutscher Bergbaugeschichte zusammengefasst, deren Bedeutung immer im Schatten der großen deutschen Lagerstätten stand. So bin ich bemüht die historischen Zusammenhänge etwas näher zu beleuchten. Viele der hier aufgeführten Informationen zu Orten und Bergwerken sind bereits aus dem Bewusstsein der einheimischen Bevölkerung verschwunden. |

The in the Middle Ages and in the following Renaissance well-known different procedures were first described in detail by Georg Agricola 1556 in his book "De Re Metallica Libri XII".

Inclusions can be a sort of fingerprint of the place of dicovery. Thus inclusions show us under which geologic conditions minerals had formed. This allows conclusions on the place of discovery. The article deals with the different kinds of inclusions, her conditions of build, which minerals do often have inclusions and how they appear. (Full text in german) |

In the Republic South Africa the trip led to the copper mining region of Okiep as well as the lead zinc mines of Aggeneys and, finally, to the Kalahari manganese ore districts of Postmasburg and Kuruman.
