Bergwerksmuseum Grube Samson

The Samson Mine museum displays extensive collections of mining equipment, tools, and historical artifacts across multiple exhibition spaces and underground passages.

Between 1521 and 1910, the Samson Mine operated as one of the deepest silver mines in Europe, reaching depths of 810 meters underground.

The museum preserves the mining heritage of the Harz region through detailed exhibits showing the working conditions and technical developments of German mining traditions.

Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and weatherproof clothing for the underground tours, which take place at specific times throughout the operating season.

The museum features two massive water wheels, including a functioning 12-meter tall pump wheel that demonstrates historical mining mechanisms during guided tours.
