Europe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most silver mines were known in the ancient times and the Middle Ages. Nowadays, it is almost impossible to find undiscovered deposits. In ancient times, silver was mined especially in Greece and Spain. Later it was also mined in Germany and in Czechia. Spanish mines were one of the biggest and oldest mines in Europe. Old Phoenicians also mined silver there and they got rich very quickly. Legends say that they used silver anchors instead of copper ones on their ships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the legends silver was mined in Bohemia since 7th<\/sup> century. A real boom in silver mining came in the 13th<\/sup> and 14th<\/sup> centuries when rich deposits of silver ores were found and mined in Jihlava, Kutn\u00e1 Hora, J\u00e1chymov, P\u0159\u00edbram, Havl\u00ed\u010dk\u016fv Brod, Kol\u00edn, \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov, M\u011bd\u011bnec, Rudolfov, and Ratibo\u0159ick\u00e9 Hory. Due to the extensive silver mining new legal acts had to be adopted. The world-known Czech mining code was inspired by older Jihlava’s mining code as well as the younger code used in Kutn\u00e1 Hora. This code was the first written legal norm of its kind in Europe and it served as an example to other European countries. In Slovakia mining activities were concetrated in the area of Bansk\u00e1 \u0160tiavnica, Kremnica, Hodru\u0161a-H\u00e1mre, and Partiz\u00e1nska \u013dup\u010da.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Town of Kutn\u00e1 Hora<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kutn\u00e1 Hora became famous for its huge, deep and rich silver mine called Osel. The biggest yields were reached in 1505 when 92 kilograms of silver were mined from the mines. The silver mine of Osel reached the depth of 500 metres as the first silver mine in the world. Prague groschen were minted in Vla\u0161sk\u00fd dv\u016fr (Italian Court) from 1300 to 1547. They were valid as a means of payment till 1644.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

District of B\u0159ezov\u00e9 Hory (P\u0159\u00edbram)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1875 in silver mine Vojt\u011bch a new record was achieved. It was the first silver mine reaching the depth of 1,000 metres where only one hoisting cable was used. Beautiful silver altar at Svat\u00e1 hora near P\u0159\u00edbram shows former riches of silver mines in the district of B\u0159ezov\u00e9 Hory. Unfortunately, the biggest mine accident in the world and in Czechia also took place on the 31st<\/sup> of May in 1892 in the 29th<\/sup> floor of Marie mine where the fire burst out and 319 miners died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Town of J\u00e1chymov<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

High-yield mining was possible due to relatively shallow placement of rich ores under the surface where fine wire silver was easy to mine. It can be cut and without smithing it can be processed right into a mint. In the first half of the 16th<\/sup> century in the J\u00e1chymov mine district there were over 1,344 mine workshops in operation and in the area around the silver mines there were employed approx. 10,000 people. The work „De re Metallica libri XII“ by a doctor Georgius Agricola from J\u00e1chymov dealt with mining techniques, procedures, and driving in the first half of the 16th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
