Mineralienatlas (name for mineral atlas) is the platform for people interested in mineralogy, geology, palaeontology and mining since 2001. We operate a significant database for minerals, fossils, rocks and their localities. Mineralienatlas is not limited to a section. We bring together information and inform comprehensive.

To complete our information constantly, we need your support. With us, everyone can and should participate. Currently Mineralienatlas is used and expanded by 10531 members. Every month hundreds of thousands of visitors use our website as an information source.

From ear­ly tun­nel con­struc­tion in the 18th cen­tu­ry to its fi­nal clo­sure in the 1950s, the Franken­holz Mine in Ger­many’s Saar re­gion was a key site of coal min­ing his­to­ry.

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.

REE belong to the most important raw materials of the 21st century, which are used in a large number of key technologies. However, due to the fact that almost 97% of the world's REE are mined and produced in China, REE have become an ongoing political issue, mainly amongst technology providing countries like the US, Japan and Western Europe.

This portrait tries to explain the characteristics of REE and their role for our modern world. Written and investigated by Peter Seroka. (Article in german)

Der Deutsch-Amerikaner Emil Winter erwirbt die Schürfrechte und gründet die Austro-American Magnesite Group, die in Radenthein mit der Errichtung eines beachtlichen Magnesitwerkes begann.
1925 wurden die Magnesit-Lagerstätten am Weißenstein und der Rettenwand bei Hochfilzen in Tirol entdeckt.
1928 sicherte sich die Austro-American Magnesite Group die Abbaurechte dafür und fusionierte mit der Allgemeinen Automobil G.m.b.H. in Wien zur Austro-American Magnesite Company. Im gleichen Jahr wurde mit dem Abbau im Untertagebetrieb begonnen.
bis circa 1930 konnte man von einem österreichischen Magnesit Monopol sprechen... Ein Beitrag von Michael Kommer
