A shaft on the southwest slope of Fürstenberg hill, which formed part of the Gelbe Birke sett. The workings are actually located across the boundary between Beierfeld and Waschleithe municipalities.
Famous for fluorite octahedra, scheelite in crystals to about 1 cm, epistilbite and hemimorphite with aurichalcite and some descloizite.
Note: Kalkschacht translates to 'lime shaft'
