Arno Lippmann shaft: The continued mining of the quarry masses of the Pinge (route point 34) inevitably widened and deepened it. In order to achieve the long-term mining target of 1 million tonnes of raw ore per year, it was necessary to sink a new shaft at an appropriate distance from the fragile Zwitterstock. For this reason, a new central shaft was sunk directly on the B 170 in 1952. This 296, 7 metre deep shaft replaced the Römerschacht (route point 40) in 1963 and was named after the Zinnwald anti-fascist Arno Lippmann in 1966. The Lippmann shaft remained in operation until mining ceased in 1991. During this time, 19 million tonnes of raw ore were extracted from it. As part of the restoration of the Altenberg mining facilities, the shaft was preserved and the central building with the 40 metre high headframe is now used commercially as part of the Europapark Altenberg ., Altenberg, Altenberg, Saxony, Germany, Europe
