An old silver and cobalt mine, started in 1528 and worked intermittently until 1779, when it was included with the Kippenhain Mine.

The fluorites marked with the location "10.000 Ritter Mine" all come from the outcrop (of the uranium ore mining of the SAG Wismut) of the "Bergmännish Glück Flacher" vein and not from the historical locality (https://www.mineralienatlas.de/?l=523).
