A former mercury and baryte mine working on the "Horngang", the longest mineralized vein of the Königsberg district. The vein was rich in iron ore (limonite) which was explored from 1937 to 1941 but never exploited.
The baryte was productive on a length of 50 m.
The coordinates given are those of the deepest adit that was reworked in 1937.
