Translation of https://www.geolife.de/poi-948630090-9460.html :

The Emilie shaft was dug to a depth of 284 m between 1937 and 1939 and was considered one of the most modern mines for ore mining at the time.

Today, visitors can find essential information about the Emilie Shaft on an information board.

The cycle path that leads along the shaft was a track road for the transport of sand and mud and a connecting route to the train station in Vöhrum until ore mining stopped.


Located between the villages of Bülten and Adenstedt, approx. 5.5 km SSE of Peine.

Outcrop description: First opencast mining, then mine (underground). Hermann-Schacht, Wilhelm-Schacht, Engelhard-Schacht, Gerhard-Schacht, Emilie-Schacht, Carl-Schacht (dewatering).

Start of mining: 3rd century, proven from 1858, end of mining in 1976.

Location type: Mine (abandoned/old)

Geology: Manganese and iron mineralization. Mn-containing ore shell pebbles date back to oolitic brown iron deposits from the Jurassic, which were shattered by repeated flooding of the Cretaceous Sea and deposited in halokinetic troughs.

Exquisite groutite crystals.
