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. |

Nevertheless, in the past, evil itself is said to have preached to the damned here from a large, solitary, towering rock spur. Today, the term Devil's Pulpit inspires one to play with associations, as do the drawings of agates found here.

And on the devil's pulpit no longer an evil demon is waiting for the agate collector, but other executive powers threatening with purgatory... a contribution by Klaus Schäfer and others (in german) |

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) |

The mine complex extends over 21.2 square kilometers and is one of the largest gold deposits in Europe. The tunnel system in the underground is several hundred kilometers long and was used until a few years ago. Already in Roman times the tunnels had a length of 145 km. |
