Důl Max, Mining heritage site in Libušín, Czech Republic
The Max mine features two perpendicular lattice headframes above the shaft, connecting to separate engine houses with steam engines from 1890.
Mining operations at Důl Max began on June 16, 1890, after initial shaft sinking in 1888, and continued extracting coal until July 15, 1980.
The mine received its name from Maximilian Egon Fürstenberg, a board member of the Prague Iron Works Company who influenced regional industrial development.
The site preserves industrial structures including two boiler houses with ridge ventilation, a gatehouse, a fire truck shed, and a residential villa.
By 1970, the shaft reached 606.4 meters depth, establishing Důl Max as the deepest mining operation in the Kladno region.
