The pit bank of shaft 2 !


This photo displays the pit bank of shaft Haus Aden 2. The gate at the left was used to fill a pit cage that was much wider than normal in order to transport e.g. huge parts of different mining machines down the shaft. The gates on the right made it possible for miners and/or mine cars to enter the less wide cage.

In this picture it can be seen very well that the last part of the rails could be lifted up. In this way it was possible to prevent things from falling down the shaft unintentionally.

Today there is silence at Haus Aden 2 shaft....
