The "Holzstock" is a wooden carpentry and was used by miners to support collapsing or inclined rock

, symbolizing the entrance to the mining trail. It is a wooden supporting structure that miners used to secure friable rock in the tunnels. Depending on the strength of the rock, the doorposts were set at different distances from each other and

a doorpost consists of a Kappe and two stamps. In the case of the German door frame, the plungers are at an angle to the gallery wall, in contrast to the Polish door frame with vertical plungers. The wooden construction had a great advantage: under too much pressure, it began to crack and thus warned the miners of danger in good time.


Glück auf!
