The adit is located in greywacke, which contains some ore dykes.
The 19-Lachter-Stollen was built to drain the higher mines by using the gravity. The adit drained numerous mines of the upper Harz, which used the main Zellerfeld ores. The most important of those mines was Grube Caroline. The draining was called lösen in the local miners language. This was why the adit was called Wasserlösungsstollen (water draining adit).
The Lachter is a medieval mining measure, which had different legth in different areas. In the Harz it was 1.92m long. The adit was built with Schlägel und Eisen, which are two similar looking tool, looking like hammers. One was used as a hammer, the other one as a chisel. The men were able to build 1m of adit per man and per shift.
The adit was also used to mine ores, especially after the shaft Ernst-August was built.
