This tower was situated at the Lohberg 2 shaft
and because of that the photo must have been taken at the beginning of the 19th
century. Sinking towers are - as the name tells us - built in order to sink
shafts. By that they are a kind of predecessors for the "real" shaft towers.
Special thanks to
Arno Hoffmann for sending me the
CD with the photos. If the - pitily unknown - photographer does not want the
pictures to be published here, please send me an
e-mail.
