The main mine was under the earth. Not accessible today any more. Only kept for the bats.
This was a main pit of the mine.
Now you know why the literature says: the old thuringian quarries are filled up with waste!

Most mines, pits and quarries tend to fill up with water. In times past when smaller shallower pits were played out the hole left behind was a hazard and it was filled with whatever they had. Maybe even garbage.

It was quite common in the older days to use closed mines, pints and other "holes in the terrain" for waste disposal. Especially when these places were near to the settlements.

Yes, and if you're in to Archaeology old trash heaps are a great place to go rummaging through. You can never tell what you will find.

You are absolutely right - I do this too in my "other passion". But here I am not interested in 50 year old garbage. I would be more interested to get access to the stones under that waste. Originally Posted by thebigspendur
