Shaft Kaiser Wilhelm II.
The small shaft complex from 1880 with its shaft hall, winding engine house and full-size water wheels is freely accessible. An exhibition on Upper Harz water management is the perfect starting point for World Heritage tours. The Kaiser Wilhelm II shaft has the second oldest iron headframe in German mining. Until 1929, it was the main shaft for lead/zinc ore mining in Clausthal-Zellerfeld. Hydroelectric power stations were installed in the existing shafts in order to utilise the Upper Harz water resources for power generation.
The Harzwasserwerke GmbH depot, which maintains the water management system, is located at the Kaiser Wilhelm II shaft. The outstanding exhibit of the exhibition in the Waschkaue - the former changing room - is a landscape model of the Upper Harz water management system, which was presented at the World Exhibition in Chicago in 1893.
The Kaiser Wilhelm II shaft is an external site of the Upper Harz Mining Museum.
