Discover the 1000-year mining history in Rammelsberg!

In the Rammelsberg mining museum in Goslar, Lower Saxony, visitors experience a thousand -year history of the mining up close. The UNESCO World Heritage, which has been closed since 1988, opened its gates as a museum in 1990 and offers eleven different tours. These range from exploration of the water in the Roeder tunnel to trips with the mine railway, which enforces the historical access of mining employees. With over 47 churches and chapels, Goslar's cultural importance, which was appointed World Heritage Site in 1992, also becomes clear in connection with the old imperial Palatinate.

The mine on Rammelsberg is considered a worldwide unicum that has been in operation for over 1,000 years. From the 11th century to the 1980s, copper, lead and tin were broken down there. The impressive monuments include, among other things, the RathSiftstiftsten Stollen, one of the oldest and best preserved tunnels in German mining. Detailed information about the tours and more is available on the website of the Bergbaumuseum www.kreiszeitung.de .
