As already mentioned elsewhere, mining in Ilmenau dates back to the year 1200. In 1216, Count Poppo v. Henneberg was enfeoffed with the Bergregal by Friedrich den II. At that time one had discovered mineralised steep copper slate near Roda and on the Sturmheide. Presumably, individual miners had been enfeoffed, who extracted copper slate and sandstone in accordance with the mining freedom. This is generally regarded as the beginning of the first main period of Ilmenau mining. The ore was mined in small open pits to a maximum depth of 50m. ... A Contribution of {:10697:} |

Vier Markierungssteine an der Feuersteinlinie am Harznordrand und zwei große nordische Findlinge im Harzvorland werden vorgestellt. Anhand aktueller Funde von Kleingeschieben wird versucht, die maximalen Höhenlagen und damit die hiesige südliche Grenze des nordischen Inlandeises an den Vorbergen des Harzes, in der „Klassischen Quadratmeile der Geologie“, zu rekonstruieren. |

The word pyrite is derived from the Greek "pyrites lithos" (derived pyr = fire and lithos = stone) and describes a characteristic of the mineral, when rubbing against steel or flint (flint) to generate sparks. In prehistoric tombs pyrite concretions and unrolled pyrite where found, which supposed to be used for lighting a fire. (Article in German) |
