The Rammelsberg was a very important mine in Europe.
It was the mine that was in operation the longest - worldwide.
The mine made the town rich.
That is why emperors and kings often came to Goslar.

Today, the Rammelsberg is a museum.
Here you can discover the exciting history above and below ground.

Mining ended in 1988.
The mine is now a museum.
The site is very large.
Exhibitions are set up in several buildings.
The exhibitions show how the miners lived and worked.
