Baryte veins with iron ores were worked for both iron and baryte until 1988. Located about 1 km west of Seligenthal.
GPS coordinates are currently provisionally set to the "Ortsteil" of Atzerode.
Translation of selected parts from the Wikipedia link below:
"The Atzerode district ["Ortsteil"] is located on Landesstraße 1126 above the Stahlberg mine in a mountainous and open south-facing slope with a winding mountain road in the Thuringian Forest."
"Iron ore was mined in the Stahlberg mine in Atzerode until the second half of the 20th century. The subsequent mining of fluorspar and barite still shapes the landscape today."
