The Helenenschacht colony is located in the Ödenburger Mountains, which separates northern Burgenland from central Burgenland. The place is an old coal mining settlement and is located on the northern edge of the municipality of Ritzing, high up on the mountain directly on the Austrian-Hungarian border. Sealed off by the Iron Curtain until the end of the 1980s, Helenenschacht is now just a stone's throw from the Hungarian sister mine, Brennbergbánya, and down to Sopron / Ödenburg.

From a geological point of view, the mining in Ritzing belongs to the formerly important Brennberg coalfield (Brennbergbánya) near Ödenburg, today Sopron, which was also of particular importance for the construction of the Wiener Neustadt Canal. In the 19th century, Brennberg and Ritzing were treated as two mines, the first of which belonged to the royal Hungarian free city of Ödenburg, the second to the Esterházy dominion of Lackenbach....
