    In 1838/1839 the waterhole shaft was expanded into a production shaft. The shaft tube was lined with brick, the shaft was saddled up and a horse head was installed. On January 23, 1839, the shaft was given the name of the new mining master Rudolph Hering and was henceforth called Rudolphschacht.
