Copper deposit.
The Kilian adit ('Kilianstollen') is now used as a tourist mine.

The English translation of the German abstract of the book by Stribrny et al. (20024), slightly edited:
The copper mineralizations are primarily hosted in the Lower Carboniferous black shale series that is exposed in a southwest-northeast striking anticline.
Thin bedding-parallel layers of finely disseminated sulfides occur in the Kahlenberg Formation (“Lower Alum Shales”) and the Hardt Formation (“Kulm Lydites”). These sulfides were partly mobilized during diagenesis and anchizonal metamorphism, and reprecipitated in structurally controlled fractures and fault zones during the folding and formation of the Marsberg anticline. Intensive Early Permian weathering processes resulted in the formation of supergene oxidation and cementation zones coupled with descendent enrichment of copper oxides, copper carbonates and copper sulfides. The copper-bearing bituminous Zechstein limestones and marls were deposited during the transgression of the Zechstein Sea.

Subsequent mobilization of these copper sulfides into cross-cutting fractures contributed to the so-called “Rücken” [ridge] mineralizations in faults cross-cutting Zechstein sediments. Additional weathering events since Cretaceous time and until the present day resulted in the development of metal-enriched oxidation and cementation zones in the Zechstein cover rocks, along the unconformity zone and in the underlying Lower Carboniferous black shale series.
The Lower Permian and the Cretaceous supergene copper enrichments have resulted in two separate, interlacing oxidation and cementation zones that are exposed in the Marsberg copper ore deposit.

From the 10th to the 16th century mostly the oxidic and carbonate copper ores were mined in open pits on outcrops of fault-controlled high-grade mineralization. The sulfidic copper ores in cross-cutting fracture zones were subsequently mined underground.
