The Reichhartschacht was named after its owner, Wilhelm Reichhart.
During the 1950s great amounts of fluorite were mined from a huge cleft.
The mine was closed when the deposit was almost depleted.
But about 2,000 tons of minerals were left in the cleft by the owner, who
intended to make a show mine.
The mine belongs to the
Bergbau- und Industriemuseum Ostbayern.
Today the mine is operated by Konrad Reichhart as a show mine with mining museum. The cleft is equipped with comfortable staircases and electric light, a lot of machinery is on display and it is demonstrated. On serveral places last remains of the fluorite and its side minerals can be seen on the location of its formation. But the highlight of the tour are 15 tools powered by compressed air, which are still working and demonstarted during the tour. Saws, ventilators, drills, water pumps, pulleys and even lamps, all operated by compressed air. This technology was developed for collieries and avoided any sort of sparks which could caus explosions with gases from the coal. The lamps have a small generator inside which produces electricity for the lightbulb.
