Graphitbergbau (Graphitvorkommen), Hafnerbach, Bezirk St. Pölten, Niederösterreich, Österreich

Abandoned mines that exploited a small graphite ("Flinzgraphit", Kropfmühle-type) deposit hosted in marble and paragneiss. There also associated occurrences of pegmatites. "Probably the most important graphite deposit in the area south of the Danube" (Holzer, 1964).

Worked in pre-1807 and from 1892-1921 in six adits and several shafts. The OpenTopoMap shows eight mining symbols. The small Maria adit on the Southern border of Hengstberg hill and the Clara adit are still accessible (situation 2014, 2022).

Note: coordinates are those of the hill top.

Located on a ridge south of Hengstberg.
