Füsseberg-Friedrich Wilhelm mine, Iron ore mining site in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
The Füsseberg-Friedrich Wilhelm mine features extensive underground tunnels stretching over 35 kilometers through the mineral-rich terrain of Siegerland.
The mine began operations in 1708 with a small team of six workers before expanding significantly under Krupp ownership in 1872.
The mine preserves mining equipment, processing facilities, and railway connections that demonstrate the technological evolution of ore extraction methods.
Visitors can explore the mining heritage through marked hiking trails and learn about industrial history at the Daadener Land local museum.
The facility maintained production during the 1931 economic crisis, generating 30,000 tonnes of raw ore monthly while other mines closed operations.
