An old silver mine, first documented in 1551. From 1775 until 1783, it mined argentiferous galena from calcite-baryte veins hosted in granodiorite and produced about 4 kg of silver per year. It was abandoned in 1784. The workings consist of two adits driven in the south slope of Belzbuckel hill, a southwestern promontory of Hundskopf mountain. The deposit is genetically closely related with the deposits worked by the Marie Mine (a little further north) and the occurrence on Hundskopf mountain (a little further east).
