Name(s) in local language(s):
Kobaltschacht, Filon Chrétien
Now flooded and backfilled shaft which accessed the deepest part of the Chrétien vein, and was 128 meters deep. The shaft is fenced.
Situation in June 2011: The shaft who used to be fenced has been opened and the wooden post around it have fallen. The city administration covered the opening with a street fence. The forest is taking back here place and I had difficulty to find the site again. The shaft is still flooded.
