Besucherbergwerke Goldkronach, Historical gold mine complex in Goldkronach, Germany.
The mine includes two distinct tunnels, the Schmutzler-Stollen and the Mittlerer Tagesstollen Name Gottes, stretching 200 meters into the mountain.
Alexander von Humboldt worked as Oberbergmeister at the mine in 1792, contributing to the development of mining operations and suggesting technical improvements.
The mine stands as a protected archaeological monument, designated as Bodendenkmal, and forms part of the Cultural Heritage D-4-5936-0021 Goldkronach.
The mine opens from May to September on Sundays and public holidays between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with guided tours starting at the Information Center.
Gold deposits in the mine exist within quartz veins mixed with arsenopyrite, requiring specific extraction methods to separate the precious metal from surrounding minerals.
