Ideally there are such huts everywhere here in Siegerland… I think it’s great… I’ll be back, that’s for sure

The first records of mining activity in the Luckenbach district date back to 1685/1686. The Edelstein brown iron ore mine runs from the tunnel entrance in the Hardt area, approximately 220 meters northwest, and was operated until around 1922, but became uneconomical. At the end of World War II, the tunnel served as an air-raid shelter. While the men were at war, the population, mothers and children, had to take refuge in the tunnel when air raid warnings sounded. Nowadays, however, only part of the mine is accessible due to overburden deposits. For safety reasons, a solid door was installed in the entrance area. From time to time, guided tours of the mine are offered, which I highly recommend.
