A sinking tub in the shaft !

 

A tub in shaft 3 !


Here you can see one of the sinking tubs on it's way up or down Lohberg 3 shaft. These tubs are brought down to the shaft's floor, after that they are filled up with the rocks and finally brought back to the surface. Additionally with these tubs the miners are transported to the shaft's floor in order to work there.

Special thanks to Arno Hoffmann for sending me the CD with the photos. If the - pitily unknown - photographer does not want the pictures to be published here, please send me an e-mail.
