Description

The San Fernando ore mine is located in Herdorf (Altenkirchen district) on the road to Daaden. It was one of the largest and last still active ore mines in Herdorf.

The unusual name goes back to the Herdorf miner Wilhelm Hähner, who initially worked for several years in mining in Mexico, then returned to his homeland and found and named the mine field in the Sottersbachtal. H.D.F. Schneider bought this mine field and some neighboring fields on August 1, 1856, in order to set up the mine. On March 27, 1855 a workforce came together. On July 15, 1958, it was finally shut down.
