Small mine primarily operated for lead, but also copper and silver, abandoned in 1910. Smaller mining operations took place intermittently since the 17th century, the "Grube Bangertsheck" was recorded in 1835, and enlarged in the early 1900s.
Hydrothermal veins in slate and greywacke. Mine tunnels and shafts closed and collapsed, findings from dumps.
Main ore minerals were galena and fahlore.

Note on the mineral list: it is unclear if the fahlore is Fe- or Zn-dominant.
