Regarding the Fischbach copper mine and miner area there is a very active mining archeological group working there with Prof. Wild and Prof Bühler as heads.
Prof. Wild is also active in publishing a magazin called "Fischbacher Hefte" (3 - 4 issues per annum), which deals primarily with various topics on the geology and mining heritage of the Fischbach - Nahe area.

Can anyone tell me if the Fischbach Kupferbergwerke, near Idar Oberstein in Germany, is still open as a visitor mine? Secondly, can anyone recommend any publication (pref in English but not essential) on its history, geology, layout, etc., including photographs? I've got an old copy of the visitor guide but it's very limited. Thanks in advance.John,
There is a German-language handbüch to visitor mines called 'Schau-und-Besucher Bergwerke in Europa' by Heinz Walter Wild pub. by Bode Verlag GmbH
