The Ruben–Kunzendorf Material Ropeway (Polish: Międzykopalniana kolej linowa Piast–Drogosław) was a material ropeway in the Nowa Ruda coalfield in Lower Silesia. It operated from 1910 to 1943 when the area was part of Germany.[1][2]
History and route
The ropeway connected the Ruben Mine (later Piast) mining field in Neurode-Kohlendorf with a shaft in Neurode-Kunzendorf.[1][3][4][5][6]
The ropeway had an approximate length of 1.26 km. It was used to transport backfill material, which was discharged into a ventilation shaft of the Kunzendorf mine.[7][3]
Cartographic evidence
The route of the ropeway is recorded on the Messtischblatt edition 5465 Neurode from 1934.[8]
