This is the monument at the site of the Kuhschacht. This mine was important because Cronstedt in Sweden, after he discovered nickel in Los in Sweden {LINK: Los009}, procured quantities of nickeline (nickel arsenide) for his studies in Sweden. From the Kuhschacht mine Cronstedt isolated enough nickel for a full characterization.
