I have never been in a real silver and copper ore mine. In the Black Forest there is the Freudenstadt visitor mine, which we were allowed to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The history of the Three Kings Mine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In the region around Freudenstadt, there is evidence of ores containing copper and silver in the rock. Around 1530, an ore mine was built in Freudenstadt in the hope of finding silver. Over the years, the desired metal was found, but it was so bound in the stone that it had to be melted down. It was used to make silver talers. Copper ores were also discovered in the mine and traces of manganese were found at the end of the mining period. Mining in Freudenstadt ended in 1780.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
