Grube Churfürst Ernst, Bönkhausen, Sundern, Sauerland, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland
An ancient lead mine, working hydrothermally formed veins in mid-Devonian sandstones and limestones.
The mine was started in 1549 and extensively worked during the late 16th century.
After the 30 years' war (1618-1648) it was frequently reworked, but without great success.
In 1890, it was finally abandoned.
Located on Klauenberg hill near Bönkhausen, about 8 km south of Sundern.
The remaining dumps cover the slopes of a small valley.
In large parts of this area, collecting is strictly prohibited.
