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. |

Peter Seroka has addressed the issue in several years of work and has written an up-to-date geological summary. He dedicated his work to the 15 th anniversary of Mineralienatlas. The work gives detailed information regarding the origin of deposits, the different types of deposits and their classification. Examples of economically important deposits complete the chapters. Provided that this comprehensive work would be printed it would be a volume of over 400 pages; here it is provided in its entirety, online. Thanks to Peter Seroka. (written in german language). |

With ambitious shaft projects, its own cableway connection to Bexbach, and remarkable geological features – including fossil discoveries and natural oil seepages – the mine reflects both the rise of industrial progress and the dangers of underground work. Gas explosions, water ingress, and tragic accidents shaped the lives of thousands of miners. Frankenholz remains a compelling reminder of a bygone mining era. |
