Tiefer Elbstolln, Cultural heritage mine in Dresden and Freital, Germany.

The Tiefer Elbstolln extends beneath the surface for 5,685.5 meters, connecting various underground passages through the regions of Dresden and Freital.

Opened in 1836, this mining complex played a central role in the industrial development of Saxony through its extensive coal extraction operations.

The mine preserves engineering techniques of the 19th century, documented through Ernst Wilhelm Lindig's detailed technical drawings from 1831.

Multiple entry points, known as Mundlöcher, provide access to different sections of the underground network for research and educational purposes.

The mine's location along the Elbe River influenced its construction methods and exemplifies the integration of industrial infrastructure with natural waterways.
