Description

Els "Pützlöcher" prop de Newel-Butzweiler són les restes d'una mina de coure romana que data dels segles I i II dC

És una de les mines romanes més antigues conegudes a Alemanya. Inicialment, aquí s'extreia mineral de coure, principalment malaquita i azurita, que s'utilitzaven com a pigments blaus per a pintura i vidre. La mina constava de nou pous verticals de fins a uns 20 metres de profunditat. Hi havia passadissos subterranis que connectaven els diferents pous. Els romans utilitzaven eines manuals com martells i cisells per extreure el mineral de la roca.

Després del cessament de la mineria de coure , la zona es va transformar en una pedrera. Aquí es van extreure grans blocs de gres , entre altres coses, per a la construcció de la Porta Nigra de Trèveris . Això ho confirmen les inscripcions trobades tant al planter com a la Porta Nigra.

Els antics pous miners ara serveixen de refugi a ratpenats i altres animals. La zona circumdant està formada per densos boscos i ofereix un bonic espai natural per a senderistes i amants de la natura.
