A thousand years of mining, the mines of Rammelsberg and the historic town of Goslar.
00:00:00
Goslar began as a sleepy town located on the north-western slopes of the mountains in central
00:00:08
Germany.
00:00:13
It began to develop as a mining town during the 10th century.
00:00:16
This is the Frankenberg district with its rows of miners' houses.
00:00:20
There is a clock in Markt Square in the town centre.
00:00:28
A puppet show tells the story of the town's mining history.
00:00:31
According to legend, in 968 a knight reached the foot of the mountain.
00:00:37
His horse tapped its hoof on the ground.
00:00:42
They dug the spot and discovered high-quality deposits of silver.
00:00:46
Silver mining began by order of Emperor Henry II.
00:00:52
It was one of the largest silver deposits in the world.
00:00:56
Originally a strip mine, mine workers gradually began cutting deeper into the ore, digging
00:01:02
mine shafts.
00:01:07
The biggest obstacle for mining in Rammelsberg was the huge quantity of underground water
00:01:12
flooding into the shafts.
00:01:16
A solution was found in 1250.
00:01:19
A 10-metre wide water wheel was installed to pump out the underground water.
00:01:22
The technological innovation brought further prosperity to the Rammelsberg mines.
00:01:29
A statue of coins coming out of a man's buttocks humorously depicts the town's heavy production
00:01:35
of silver coins.
00:01:43
Henry II built an imperial residence to protect and maintain the town's prosperity.
00:01:49
The Imperial Assembly of the Holy Roman Empire was held at the palace from 1009 to 1219.
00:01:55
Goslar flourished as an economic centre during those 200 years, producing silver coins widely
00:02:04
accepted throughout Europe.
00:02:09
The mines of Rammelsberg were used for a thousand years.
00:02:16
The last mine was closed in 1988.
00:02:24
That ended a major chapter in the town's history.
