Bergmännische Mettenschicht

What's it about?

Originally, it was the last shift before Christmas, when the miners could briefly escape the dangers of underground tunnels. Today, this last shift is still celebrated, even though there has been no underground mining for several decades. In its current form, the Mettenschicht in Eisenerz has been held since 1984 – at that time, mining engineer Anton Manfreda revived this tradition. Since 1984, the organization of the Mettenschicht has been entrusted to the Montanhistorische Verein Österreich (Mining History Association of Austria) and the Knappschaftsverein Eisenerz-Radmer-Vordernberg. Using the old miners' train, "der Katl," people travel into the Franz Stollen and go to the Barbaranische, where a holy mass with music and singing is held. Program to follow...
