Sello-Shaft
At this point, a pinge (shaft funnel) has always been clearly visible on the earth's surface.
According to ERDMENGER (1818) there was neither an adit nor a shaft here. Originally, it was not a day shaft, but only an opening or "Überhau", i.e. a mine workings, which was driven vertically from the bottom to the top as a blind shaft. Due to the lack of support, the overburden gradually collapsed over the years. The local thrust, which became inaccessible due to the collapse, still shows borehole pipes (boreholes) from the period of the Dillinger Hütte (1915/16).
The fracture was sunk by hand in 1994 by members of the Förderverein Kupferbergwerk. A shaft tube made of concrete rings was placed on a concreted foundation. It has a depth of 10.80 m and today serves as an emergency exit. The shaft is used as an emergency exit. It shows a reel conveyance, i.e. the conveyance of mine water with the help of wooden water buckets.
In 1995 the shaft was dedicated to the mining director SELLO and was given the name "SELLO SHAFT". In 1818, SELLO carried out extensive investigations for the resumption of mining operations. Most of the findings about the historical mine workings come from one report.
