The Schieferkaut near Königsberg was one of the mines in the Lahn-Dill area. It was a small roofing slate mine and was maintained around 1885 by a local citizen who, with 4 - 8 miners, mined around 500 to 800 "rice" in the summer months. More in the video with the mining engineer Franz Gareis: biebertal.tv/forward/video.php?id=75
