The largest known gold discoveries worldwide

are currently the biggest Gold nuggets found in Alaska.

is probably why my fondness for the gold rush town of Dawson City, the is described here.


The NAC Nugget
Dave Rankin was in 2004 in Mc Grath (Alaska) with a detector a twenty-ounce gold nugget. The nugget was found at the end of a runway, which has previously been digging with heavy equipment work to extend the runway. The owner of the lot was this Dave Rankin, whose understandings were operated with the reconstruction work of NACS (air freight companies).


The largest gold nugget in Australia
The largest gold nugget is the giant nugget Holtermann "was found in October 1872 in Australia and weighed 214.32 kg and a nugget from Chile, weighed more than 153 kg. In the Urals in Russia 1843, an 12kg heavier platinum nugget was found.


The largest gold nugget from Alaska
Two hundred ounces is mainly the gold nugget was found by Barry Rubin in 1998 in Clay of Alaska. Clay had on the vane his bulldozer sand and gravel stored and the machine run. By the vibration of the engine and thus the whole bead was screened out of the Nugget literally from the gravel, sand and dirt particles. De nugget has been sold and its current owner unknown.


The Anvil Gold Nugget
The Pioneer Mining Camoany back to 1903 on a tributary of the anvil gold nugget the 182 ounces. For almost a hundred years he remained the largest nugget discovery in Alaska.


The Ganes Nugget
In Mc Grath at Ganes River (Alaska), goods found Magnuson and his son Lloyd Magnuson Gold Nugget 1985 a 122 oz. Were there, and Lloyd ran a comercial Mining.


The heart of gold
Mic Martinek in 1984 on a tributary of the glacier in Alaska, the 92 ounce gold nugget, which until today is still in its possession and deposited in a bank vault.

usually be found such large gold nuggets of professional Bergmännder but also finds by amateur and recreational prospectors are quite possible.


The largest gold nugget (33.85 ounces) of a non-commercial prospectors Steve Burris, on 16 June 2004. As so often was the find in Alaska in Mc Grath, made at a affluents of Ganes. According to recent records of this nugget is the largest of a hobby - prospector Gold Fund made.

However, the records should be questioned, since not all gold finds were reported correctly. found



The largest gold discovery in Germany
early May 2004 Heinz Martin, a then 64 year old cyclist from Katz hut in the upper Schwarztal when driving through a stream happens to have a sparkling gold nugget of 9.64 g. The authenticity of the gold and the natural the Nuggets and the probable authenticity of the discovery site were verified by Dr. Markus Schade.

This is the second-worst ever found in Germany and nugget triggered a local gold rush. It was the first discovery in Germany for about 400 years and had a then estimated collector's value of 1500 €.

The heaviest nugget found in this period in Germany is a 10.2 gram nugget also from the Schwarzatal that 16th out into the Cosmos Century is incorporated, probably so as processed nugget today has less value to collectors, as the unprocessed Nugget find from the year 2004.

were course and are still always found in different places of the world's gold nugget. But while commercial companies operate with great technical effort targeted the gold mining, the gold seekers and gold-diggers are used to as now heavily dependent on luck and chance.

look at the Goldberg Group -. Gold mining area

One of the adventures and experiences of the Hohe Tauern is the history of gold in the Tauern Rauris valley.

Rauris, was once the stronghold of European gold mining in the 14/15 century, where 12% of world gold production (with 2000 two thousand miners were at Goldberg won).

bearded vulture approaching

Another worthwhile excursion is to the free-flying vultures and eagles in Krumeltal , also in Rauris. The once extinct Bearded vultures were naturalized in 1986 in a project again.

A truly unique experience is the search for gold in the sky circling vultures.

grave stone - gold panning

The bigger the pan is in order so more sediment (mixture of sand, gravel, rocks and water) the more difficult it will be then.

Who wants to wash quickly, therefore, used rather shallow pans, they are primarily used for gold panning contests, * where it comes in a short period of time as much gold wash.




* Gold panning competitions are
order to safeguard the opportunities here, added an unknown quantity for the participant gold grains in a sand bag. Who in the shortest Time all the sand bag hidden gold grains found is the winner. Non found grains of gold, there are time bonuses. The number of grains of sand bag contained gold is only known to the jury.

gold sluice

The Sluice boxes also lock or sluice box called the situation is similar with the gold pans. There are many models of all the most useful.

Many swear by gold panning, but on their own buildings, often built with a lot of imagination and creation. (See the three channels on the left)

image Beschreibunng

The Gold Panning right channel (channel black) is a commercially available American model Make Keene. The three Sluice boxes are left natural aluminum buildings of different gold washers.


The channel is put into the flow of the stream and secured to prevent the continued swimming. The mixture of sand, gravel, rocks (sedimentary material) is dug to channel the flow of water does the flushing out of the sediment.

This technique decreases the gold panning 90% of the work because the manual washing deleted as in the gold pan. In the gutter, leaving a gold and heavy mineral-containing pre-concentrate, which is then in the wash pan washed by hand should be further.

original instructions for panning for gold in the valley of vultures

A touch of romance and adventure comes over one when appearing at the bottom of the first gold pan gold spangles and glitter in the sun. Vultures and eagles, high on the horizon, watching the hustle and bustle of the Gold Knight at the stream.

you think I provide a description of the gold rush in the Yukon (Canada) 1898? I report this error by using the example panning for gold in the valley of vultures in Rauris Austria, on the first steps of the gold washing.

gold panning for beginners

Although the issues of gold prospecting and panning for gold are very complex, it is easy to learn gold panning and its technology. Under the motto: "It's all a matter of practice and experience" can fall relatively quickly into the fun.

a certain attitude but you should also bring the start of the search for gold, so does the experience too. Gold washing place (obviously) is outdoors and it is therefore essential for weather-resistant, warm clothes to provide. At work, on or in the stream, should not be missed rubber boots.

The guaranteed success another local knowledge and the obligatory washing bowl (pan) are essential. This they usually get on loan for a small fee, to the designated gold washing areas. I'd like to start with an introductory course "or" beginners course "advise, as the local guide, know the exact points to the successful search for gold. Panning for gold without gold discovery is only half the battle.

What's missing is patience, patience, patience. Panning for gold is like fishing or looking for mushrooms, just not a fast number that is dealt with in 5 minutes. However, they will reward the Gold Fund for their perseverance.

I know I have now written about things they are interested not so much, so they want to learn about the technique of panning for gold and they are now on the following pages.

The technique of panning for gold

The Success of the gold washing is partly in the fact to which exposed areas can be seen from the sand for the gold wash. The technique and the process of panning for gold is easy and can be learned by anyone.

• Choose a comfortable seat at the flowing water.

• Fill in your gold pan gold-sand mixture.

• shake the bowl filled with water 10 times more powerful, so that the heavy gold sinks to the bottom of the wash pan. This solved the same time, the dust particles in the sand.

• Listen to the shaking up and move the dish slightly inclined, still under water, sideways back and forth, so that the uppermost sand drain area can.

• Repeat this step until there is still about a handful of material is in the gold pan.

• This concentrate is lifted out with about 1 / 2 liters of water from the bowl. For this, the rest of the sand content in a circular motion is more and more carefully washed over the bowl edge, until the first gold grains are visible.

• Repeat this procedure and pass in the existing gold with tweezers or toothpick in a water-filled tubes.

• The technique of the gold washing is that the lighter sand - gravel mixture on the side edge of the shower pan out, rinsed is. The heavier gold will remain at the bottom of the basin lie.

The washing gold from the brook, the stream or river

out in the high mountains, the intensive mechanical and chemical weathering, mostly by frost shattering, glaciers and rainfall exposure to a crumbling of rocks and minerals it contains.

The mountain streams that are washed into the valley and it further reduced in size. This natural process must be exposed in the rock and the ore pulp contained grains of gold.

The different muzzle velocities, the bedrock and terrain textures result in a separate deposition of the entrained ore and gold particles in various places.

When the stream reaches the valley floor, the mineral grains, depending on its density (specific gravity) deposited at different locations.

mineral rocks of high density such as gold, silver and other ores prefer to accumulate points from a low muzzle velocity. This is usually around bends, islands and depressions, known in technical jargon soaps.

The competent Goldprospectors knows these soaps by trained eyes. Hence the expression of the national champion in gold panning Josef Haslinger (Rauris): You have to read the stream can.

This ever-lasting natural phenomenon makes it possible that you still equipped with a Pans and rubber boots, gold can be washed from the mountain streams. The prerequisite is that the described mountain ranges contain the gold.

One of these mountains, the Hohe Tauern in Salzburg, where the exploration for gold has a century-long tradition. More on the history of the gold washing goldsuchen.at they read on the pages of.

How long will the beginner need gold panning for gold to be found?

The success of the gold washing is of course strongly depends on which (correct) places you search for gold. But even if you master the correct technique of panning for gold. So the two things you have mastered only after a certain time and training.

knows I want to give a comparison to the points on a fishing creek or river, which is densely as the trout and there's Angel, placed casts. In general, the experienced and expert fishermen will make his catch and take the booty home.

While the technique of Gold panning at home also could learn in a grain of sand and gold-filled tub (a tedious affair) is to find the appropriate locations on the river, only with experience and "reading the river" connected.

Just as the fishing in foreign waters knows where the trout could be said the experienced white gold panning at which bends (soap) is deposited over the gold. But even experienced gold panning are not immune from failure.

The experience of panning for gold Scout Theo Huber Rauris teaches us that the beginner tries it on your own, 90% frustrated, leaves the place of his fortune because he was neither in place nor is the correct technique on the hunt for gold.

Theo Huber reported, therefore, that comes with a beginner's course in gold panning, in the right place and with the right technique, the newcomer in about 20 to 30 minutes for his first gold spangles in the wash pan.

Even the beginners will receive at the beginning of the gold washing course a basic introduction about the area, places, techniques, stream flow and composition of the (wash) material.

under the expert guidance and assistance during the gold washing operation is then not a fast but a guaranteed success possible. The cost of a gold-panning rate range from € 7 (eg in Rauris) and 45 € depending on length, equipment and locations.

A gold washing course for beginners is not absolutely necessary, but for those whose goal is to find now and in future gold, a huge help.

Note:

Please note that work is at gold panning courses accessible to the natural stream and in open terrain. The washing in tubs provided for this purpose is boring and often install only for tourism purposes.

gold panning with children

Although gold panning for kids is always a highlight, you should make sure that with a longer holiday stay, in a gold wash area, an alternative program available.

you will have a day trip to Gold Basin no problems with the motivation of their children. A longer holiday only with the experience of panning for gold is not for children but effective. Children quickly lose the stamina, patience and motivation for a single subject.

Take care that the children soon have a sense of achievement, that is: make Gold Fund and any courses that will be described in a gold fund guarantee. I refer here to the panning for gold on a natural stream and not specifically provided for in vats.

are panning for gold it so these two components as adventure / adventure and endurance / patience. These two demands, it is therefore under a hat to get.

My experience has taught me that subsides after 2 to 3 days, the euphoria of the gold washing in the children. However, it is possible even before the gold washing combined with other adventures.

basis of panning for gold in Rauris I would like to cite some examples of combinations which can be considered.

Note:

Do not forget warm spare clothes to get something to eat and warm drinks.

indispensable to gold panning. The gold pan

is the gold pan, next to an unshakable optimism the most important tool of a gold panner. More on the gold pan and sluice box gold read here ...

are both plastic as used as an iron pans for gold panning. The diameter of a gold pan is between 35 and 45cm. It is estimated that in North America was first used by the Indians of this utensil.

In our latitudes are very often used the plastic cups, as the iron pans degreased before first use, then heated and quenched with cold water will have. Use greased iron pans ever since the depend on the fat gold spangles, is therefore easier and will continue floating.

The iron obtained after greasing pans and quenching a steel-blue color after using the iron pan that is greased back so as to counteract the rust.

used as already mentioned, the majority of gold panning, the plastic pan. The

reason is their portability and stability. More are in the plastic grooves of the pan panning for gold easily make and allow a better yield.

caught on the grooves, the gold spangles and is deposited there. The extraction of gold is a lot easier. Also of importance is the color of Kunstststoffpfanne. Here are selected especially dark colors, where the gold spangles stands out most clearly. Preferably, the colors, dark green, dark blue and dark gray.

If you a real gold pan for the first wash tests are too expensive, you can of course use any similarly shaped object. I am thinking of a disused giant frying pan from grandma's kitchen. Here you remove the style of the pan and is in possession of a functional Gold pan.

Tip:

usually be awarded to a public gold panning sites and gold pans for a small fee. eg in Rauris gold wash bowl made of plastic and shovels to 3.00 € per person per day (as from 2011)

Checklist for gold panning

who embarks on a journey to the gold panning should consider some things to pay to no frustration in the search for the gold can.

first Selection of the place or the river or stream

Select a city or river, where offered gold panning (allowed) is. Make sure that gold prospecting right on the river or stream takes place. Gold panning in tubs, as offered by some resorts is rather boring.

ask in any case before the Check out where and when gold panning is allowed and what equipment they used allowed.

second To avoid long trips and frustration in the search for the gold, I recommend a gold wash course. (About 10 to 40 € per day including equipment). Such a course will be paid 100% strength.

third Rubber boots

are panning for gold on or in the creek / river boots essential best fishing boots are to step height.

4th Warm socks

The water in the stream / river is usually very cold, make compensation for thick socks.

5th Warm clothing

Warm clothing is also frequently required. Make sure that they are making the cold and wet not upset the search for gold. In nature, it can happen that it rains or passes a slip into the stream bed. Take warm spare clothing.

6th Gibe Eating and Drinking
it spot something to eat and drink? Think of her (hungry) children and take them with food. Or how far the nearest store or Gashof away?

The gold washing equipment

usually provided the equipment for gold washing course, they inquire in advance .

first Spade shovel better

works best here, the front bucket to top to remove layers of rock or gravel or digging in the river bed. Another a hand shovel and garden hoe respectively. a geological hammer to loosen solid rock. Available at any garden center.

sure what is allowed in the respective gold panning sites.

2.Herzstück the gold pan

this is available in outdoor stores, but in any case where gold panning is available. Gold wash bowls are available in plastic and metal. While the professionals use in many places the metal pan, we from the crowd, the plastic respectively. Kunstoffpfanne used.

usually seen in dark colors for the gold better. At all events, the pan in the inner region, have added grooves that hold the heavier particles and the gold. A plastic pan works just as well as a metal pan and is easier to care above all.

respect :

used in tournaments and competitions flat gold pans are unsuitable for searching for gold at the natural stream / river. Take care. Gold pans are between about 19 and 55 € depending on size and design available. Gold panning can

perhaps be with an old frying pan whose style has been removed. The gold wash bowl with grooves, in any case is more practical and more effective.

third Plastic tubes, tweezers, magnifying glass

The clear plastic tube is used for the gold spangles there be poured. The tweezers to pick the gold from the wash bowl. And look at the little magnifying glass to even the smallest gold particles. For small gold spangles, you can also use the sniffer Bootle found the flakes by pressing that absorbs.

4th Hand-held screen

for washing of coarse material, use a hand sieve. There are also such equipment is available in metal and plastic. The Kunststoffhandsieb enough in any case, especially since this screen, also known as classifier for the novice is not absolutely necessary.

How much to invest € novice gold panning and the costs incurred for the beginner at panning for gold?

Simply put, almost none. One has to journey respectively. The trip to the place of gold washing areas finance, but there are in any case, gold panning places where you have to pay anything.

An example is given Rauris "panning for gold in the valley of vultures." In Rauris no official approval to the gold washing is necessary. The assignment of a gold wash course is not mandatory.

Inform yourself in advance so if they need an official permit for gold panning, or whether the gold washing is generally prohibited.

Basically, we have removed an old frying pan whose style is filled with the sand and gold mixed with the washing begin. This procedure is cumbersome and not very productive. This is probably more to the empathy of the old gold rush to be the goal to find gold grains.

If I assume that it is missing have rubber boots and warm clothing, only a so-called gold pan or bowl to start the gold washing gold washing.

The gold washing mishap, (photo www.goldsuchen.at) is a plastic bowl with built-in side grooves. The grooves are used to the gold spangles, which is heavier than the sand mixture to hold back. Gold pans give it in different sizes and usually in dark colors (dark green, dark blue, black) to be able to recognize this as the gold dust better.

increases the price of such gold pans of the book version 17.95 to about 54 €-stable in execution. However, they have this piece of equipment not buy immediately, as is found in most gold panning courses available to a bowl.

The problem for beginners in the gold washing is not so much the equipment but rather the technology and the locations to search for gold.

I therefore advise you to avoid frustration and failure, in a beginners' course gold panning. On the basis of the gold washing course for beginners in the Valley of the Vultures, Rauris, see what they can Costs thus creating a beginner's course in gold washing.

Note:

gold washing course for beginners with Fund guarantee, rental equipment, glass tubes and a diploma in Rauris cost, 2011 - 7,00 euro The wash cycle refers to the Austrian National Champion panning for gold and the gold wash Sepp Haslinger Scout Theo Huber instead.

The independent panning for gold, including gold wash bowl and blade 3.00 € per person per day. As you can see no case a costly affair.

Tip:

What they need to panning for gold is: patience

Getting to Rauris to Gold Basin

Getting to Rauris them of the Tauern motorway towards Salzburg Villach. Turn right at the branch he Bischofshofen right direction Bischofshofen, St. Johann, Bad Gastein from. Continue on to Taxenbach Schwarzach and turn right to Rauris.

Theo Rauriser one of the gold washing lives

Gold Scout Theo Huber Although the yield of gold low through washing and one for a living do not deny it can Theo lives but indirectly by panning for gold. Hr. Theo Huber has the Gold Basin Rauris leased floor house and spends the summer and indirectly through its courses from the gold washing gold washing. In the winter he works as a ski instructor.

Theo, born in 1953, starts at about mid-May, daily at 08:30 clock, clock 17:00 his workday at the Gold Basin floor house. It is the gold washing area at the original sites of former gold mining Hohe Tauern Rauris. Surrounded by 13 peaks over 3,000 meters high. Where the Hüttwinkelache, the gold spangles from the Goldberg Ruppe flooded the valley, the Gold Basin and is Theo's place of work.

come at 09:00 clock search for the first adventurers to clean gold and Theo have the tools such as shovel, gold pan, glass tubes (for the source of gold spangles) and rubber boots and equipped accordingly. After

Arrival of the first students and the issue of tools and utensils makes Theo a theoretical introduction on the spot. This describes the former Knappenalttag Goldberg on why you can wash real gold and how the gold pan is properly managed.

After the theoretical introduction, he goes immediately to the practical part on the spot, gold panning over. Depending on the skills of the students, he explained in an ongoing basis and practical execution wash where and how you have to get to the shiny metal. The practical course is not limited in time, so dive new questions of the students on the gold washing, Theo explained readily.

highlight is, of course, when the first discovery of gold set with the participants and in the glow of the sun glitter. It may well be that Theo to help you in difficult cases to help at all to his gold find.

Due to the large crowd in the main season Theo is strongly demanded by the many gold washers to help their luck. Drinks and ice than there encore to boot. Not always the weather is nice, but a real prospector does not proceed to the sky but on his gold pan for the gold spangles of stone and sand separate.

is also rain, new gold sand mixture by Goldberg, by mountain, down into the valley and transported in the bends (soaps) of the stream washed. It often happens that at the end of a busy day, the successful search for gold at the campfire is celebrated with ribs from the grill. Here already is one or the other, drinking beer and talking about the former gold miners in the mountains.

Although one might think it's a nice making a living in the great outdoors, says Theo is still a day with your feet in the icy mountain stream, must be cold and rain to defy and to ensure that the eager novice Goldprospectors guild to her right Gold Fund will speak.

on what we are proud

As already mentioned, Rauris-floor building, in Europe the only gold washing area at the original sites of the former Goldberbaues. Up to 3,000 miners (13 to 15 century.) Worked at the High Goldberg and dug 10% of world deposits of gold.

We wash no gold wooden vats as other places in order to make the tourist attraction. Our complete range of 6 € per person and course are truly an expensive pleasure. (Various fraudulent sites require from 30 € upwards for a gold panning course) Rauris has a proven history to the gold mining and gold panning.

free flying eagles and vultures make our combination gold under Geier so unique in Euroa. Our tradition is going commercial. The gold particles are directly from the inner of the High Tauern stream swept through the valley. There is washed Theo Huber - gold in the valley of vultures.

Rauris sits panning for gold to 120 tons of pure gold

As former mayor Kaiserer gold & greed on the mountain prevented

The gold reserves in Rauris
In Goldberg group is to Rauris it still mineable the tunnel a rich deposits of gold and silver promise. This is called 6-speed groups, the following gold contained in Deberzgehalt. geologist Beck (1907 - 1977) speaks of 8 Grams of gold in a ton of ore. Imhof even of 10.6 grams of gold from one ton of ore Due to the fact that at least 15 million tonnes of ore to reduction are relevant to the Berrechnung this would yield a pool of 120 tons of pure gold yield.

Even higher estimates range from 18 to 25 million tonnes of quantities of ore, which would be the gold yield amounted to 140 to 201 tonnes of pure gold. Furthermore, the ore pulp containing another 1,000 tonnes of silver. This begs the question why is carried out with such a quantity of pure gold in the mountain no degradation of these precious metals. The answer lies in the far-flung tunnels and mines at a height of 2,300 over 2,900 and even 3,000 meters (Schwarzkogl Summit) located.

The highest tunnel is built at an altitude of 3045 meters. And the highest Berghausruiene with the Smith house was discovered in the thirties by G. Leitner Hiess at an altitude of 2730 meters. The depth of the gold deposits ranging up to 1,600 meters into the mountain.

For extraction of gold would have a huge capital expenditure that is operated. Treatment plants, miles of tunnels underground, and new lifts to be installed. Prevent further disruption, displacement and fragmentation means of access to gold deposits. Rauris sitting there on at least 120 tons of pure gold.

There are in Kanppenzunft of Rauris and Gastein is a proverb which says: "The calf was gone - the cow still inside, in the Mountain" describes this Auspruch that since the beginning of the gold mining industry by the Celts and the Romans until the year 1943, only a fifth of the pure gold was brought to light. 80% of gold are still inside the Rauriser Gold Mountain.



1984 Kaiserer prevented is gold & greed on the mountain

Only the former mayor Ing Otto Kaiser and a few colleagues and the Austrian Friends of Nature to thank for the U.S. ST. Joe Erzbaugesellschaft on Goldberg could not take root. The St. Joe Company planned to invest 72.6 million euros and create 500 well paying jobs. In a press conference, the former exploration manager Volker Spieth, that to reduce 100 tonnes of gold in 20 years. At that amount of gold production a reduction would be 200-800 tons of rock daily necessary.

The Golden future for Rauris had only one catch and was called the: sodium cyanide. A highly toxic chemical with the gold from the ore rock is formally sulphurised out. But even with these highly toxic substances the targeted result Währe never zuschaffen been. Ing Otto Kaiser and his colleagues feared (rightly) serious damage to nature and Raubau his home town and prevented by all means the occurrence of the degradation by the St. Joe Erzbaugesellschaft.

We know the villages of South America is out with mercury mined for mineral resources and has been. Poisoned rivers and soils, disease, epidemics, poverty, slums, cleared and burned forests. Where to even mention, is that mercury is still considered the more harmless methods instead of the highly toxic sodium cyanide .


thanks to former mayor Ing Otto Kaiser

Our thanks to former mayor therefore prevents Ing Emperor (+) allowing an utter destruction of the current protected area in Rauris added. While the former official posting their project and proponents of the insanity, described him as an agent and Frustrate the mining plans, the people know of the Rauris Valley and in the meantime, a large part of nature connected people how valuable was this commitment to Rauris and the environment.

Sonnblick & Rojacher

Rojacher and Sonnblick observatory Goldberg

Kolm Naz 1844 - 1891 Ignaz Rojacher and the weather center at Sonnblick Meteorology was in the eighties of the 19th Century. still a fairly young science. But the progressive development of research on climate and weather research into the processes in the higher layers of air to a peremptory necessity has made. was precisely at this time the Austrian meteorologist Julius Hann, who had distinguished himself in his studies of the hair dryer, the meteorology of the Alpine peaks and the decrease of temperature in the height of a name, from the International Meteorological Congress in Rome with the presentation on the Höhenobservatorien charge.

primary to the deeds of Ignaz Rojach the last gold miners of Rauris is due to the fact that at the summit of the High Sonnblick (3.106 m) the highest Summit observatory in Europe was built. Anno 1879 Hann recommended the second international conference meteorologists several requests for adoption.

particularly Hann stressed the need to establish fully-equipped observatories dominant peaks and the publication of the observations made there in a form which makes them all available to meteorologists and allows them to make for needs that which would also appear in the future.

Hann stated that it believed it was appropriate to a subsidized funds from international observatory on a to build mountain peaks. Hann also called to set up as director of the Austrian monitoring network in the Alpine countries continued observations on high points located in the Alps, on the Schmitt level, on the lower mountain, on Radhausberg and on others.



Here are some impressions of the Sonnblick



I gnaz Rojacher was the pioneer the weather station

given Obermayer wrote in his 1893 published in Vienna work "The observation station on the Sonnblick their investment, their development and their costs," "The the proposals Hann's the knüpfende agitation had a surprising and unexpected success, it led to the creation of a station on the main ridge of the Alps and the highest station in Europe at all.

By the autumn of 1884, the owner of the trades on Rauriser Goldberg, Ignaz Rojacher, the Central Committee shall pronounced the German-Austrian Alpine Association's disposition, to build at the Knapp home at an altitude of 2340 m is a meteorological station, when he would leave the instruments on this loan.

to the relevant notification of the Central Committee of the German-Austrian Alpine Association on the management of the Habsburg Central Institute for Meteorology latter had not hesitated to put up with Rojacher in direct connection and his instruments, provisionally establishing a third-order station to leave.

In December, the station was already established, but the appropriate list of the instruments at the Knapp House prepared but very difficult to and the temperature observations were found to be hardly used because of isolation influences, and the precipitation measurements failed because of the known difficulties of measuring snow at high altitudes.

The immediate impetus for the establishment of an observatory on the summit Sonnblick came neither from Hann, nor by Dr. Wilhelm Ritter von Arlt or Rojacher, but by then District Governor in Zell am See, F. Eberle. This Mr. Eberle was the one who cheered to Rojacher, despite all difficulties on one of the peaks of the Goldberg group set up a weather station.

After long and careful consideration and Having regard to some specially for this purpose taken ascents of Herzog Ernst, the Rauriser Schareck and the High Sonnblick in winter, the snowfall and freezing of these peaks were studied Rojacher became convinced that the Sonnblick Summit offers the only effective solution. Alone on the shape of the flattened cone is offered at this summit, he also was in a particularly dominant position. came

Financial problems

As a result of site investigations Rojacher it in Zell am See to a meeting at the district captain Eberle and Dr. Martin, to cell Mayor took part. Rojacher laid his plans before the end of 1885 and was Councilor Hann of Dr. Martin a letter. Therein it states: "Enclosed I send Your Excellency a letter from the you probably already know mine owner Rojacher, vlg Kolm-Naz, to what is equitable access

I have a duplicate of the same to the Central Committee.. the German-Austrian Alpine Association, which is the thing take warmly submitted, and urge Your Excellency to give me know want to know whether the meteorological Central Agency would be able to do something for the establishment of such a station and what, I think the Project should be worth the attention.

In the "Saigurn Kolm, 28 January 1885" dated Rojach detailed document, the plan was the establishment of a meteorological station on the Sonnblick described in detail and were known as the advantages that those peaks for intended purpose offered. Rojacher secured in writing his "vigorous, multi-page support in a possible favorable reception to this project" and asked to be allowed to share the same with the factory.

As some say in Austria, was also at this Time the financial situation precarious. The Imperial and Royal Central Institute for Meteorology and Geomagnetism had no means to such enterprises, which had to build a house as a condition, even to attack. Help came from the German-Austrian Alpine Association (DÖAV), the Central Committee agrees in Salzburg had to participate in the company.

The Constant inhibitors: the kuk Aerar

When the weather center was not built in the summer of 1885, is the fault of the imperial Aerar. Supposition is in erroneously held by the Sonnblick Summit, tied the Aerar a number of conditions to the construction of the house, which not only delays the start of construction, but was prevented. Then, when the matter was finally cleared, it was again too late. Of the state's mills grind slowly, too slowly. When at last the building permit was present, was on the Sunday summit will look snow, too much snow. The winter of 1885/86 had kept his entry.

Obermayer made are still worried. The DäAV had indeed the cost for the wooden house taken over, but it remained a concern for the procurement of funds for the construction of Anemometerturmes, for making the phone line from the sun overlooking the Knapp House and Kolm Saigurn to Rauris, also for the necessary recording instruments and a number of charges. The only solution: a fund-raising. Prof. Dr. Breitenlohner promoted by experts with presentations for the weather station and helped diligently to collect the necessary funds.

The Rauriser Rojacher was a man of the valley

He was not discouraged and left the wooden house for the time being in Kolm Saigurn finish and set a trial basis. Then he went to Vienna, to be drawn up look at the sun and learn about specific apparatus to learn about the duties of a first-order station.

to stubbornness ärarischer officials and scarcity of funds was joined by a third problem: the bad weather. The June 1886 was one of the coldest and wettest June months since decades. But the July and August weather was unfavorable. A big help was originally intended only for the transport of ore inclined lift.

Rojacher had from the time of the mining ärarischen derived lift machine expanded. Already in 1832 the engine house and the underlying Bruchhof had been erected, the 1,422-meter long "lift" itself was built in 1833, and since 1834 the railway was in operation. The weak-scale "drawing trees" already made it necessary in the first years of extensive work. Rojacher replaced the hemp rope with a 15 mm thick wire, and put an electric bell between Kolm (1600 m) and the mountain station (2177 m).

The machine or wheel housing as the top station was still built of stone ruins evidence and recovered the Radstube with glacier fed water Kehrrad, which had a diameter of eleven and a half meters and a 1 meter thick shaft sat up, which in turn was the 2-meter-wide drum. The little cart on the lift pass from a solid bar frame with a relatively low, applied caste, took about 800 kg "Pochgang.

Also in passenger elevator was used. The Hanover railway director said on the occasion of a trip with the not exactly confidence-inspiring vehicle that the elevator is not a life insurance company, but even the fainthearted confided in the strange vehicle, and if they are really too worried afraid to go into a little cart, then said Rojacher always in his traditional Pinzgauer dialect: "So moving 'containing i with as wer'n ma mitanander out

to a trembling with excitement Dame Rojacher was once the pastor of an Eben, who was also on the mountain, with the remark.: "Iazt Feit si nothing, now there Poscht-moasta mitfouscht to heaven, do hol'n Eahna is the NATM Tuifel Thurs. "In 1888 the tourist transport the lift was officially prohibited.

The" Chinese wall "at the High Goldberg Rauris

From the engine house built Rojacher a stone embankment for the so-called" brake car, from where a nearly horizontal siding, whose line is now also seen more clearly, to 2,340 m high altitude Knapp store.

the transport of all materials for the weather station concerned the miners Rojach in the piece rate. The Kolm Saigurn in again de-mounted wooden house was to use the existing inclined elevator Kolm Saigurn of the power house (near present-day New Shelter) mounted and stacked there. Some of the material was from the engine house on the ropeway (so-called "Chinese Wall") to the brake house and continued on the part of the railway station Rojacher Knapp House.

took over at the pit house in 2340 m altitude the support components and dragged the bar over the glacier, which then came down from the nine-Bolfach far. From there we went over the glacier floor between the lower and upper gray Peten Kees. Then came the crossing of the lateral moraine of the glacier to Goldberg, to the flow of the glacier Low Sonnblick. This had a very steep snow field exceeded, then crossed the east ridge and the glacier against the Bockpalfen be crossed.

As the miners dragged the house on the summit

went Obermayer another batch of vehicles from engine room to the tongue of the glacier Goldberg, the time to bare spots and was very steep increase at the same, reaching in this way the moraine at the glacier flow from the lower Sonnblick. To come to one or another way to Bockpalten below the board charter, two to two and a half hours walking is required.

From Sonnblick top down Rojacher had improvised a lift from an old wire rope, a small drum and a slide, a lift, which ended near the Bockpalfens. With the help of this primitive elevator on the south slope of the glacier completely covered the material was held Sonnblick tip.

Many items, however, such as the establishment of the rooms were all the way So far three and a half, worn, some carriers are also the East Ridge of Sonnblick chose to climb, but is the shortest way to the summit, but a non-dangerous climb over wildly lying, massive stone blocks. "Because of the striking cleavage, II writes Obermayer," which showed the glacier in the summer of 1887, Rojacher thought the way, from driving on the East Ridge a way that would be quite possible ... In favorable days, it has also happened that carriers twice a route from the engine house to Sonnblick top laid back.

The The construction of the meteorological station commissioned miners and workers erected a primitive building works. Eleven miners had Rojacher deduct from its mining operation to realize the construction of the Sonnblick summit. Even before 1 September 1886 had reached the house. Only the tower was still a part of the scaffolding and the interior was also missing a few things, but the building was already occupied.



The opening of the observatory High Sonnblick
In his essay cited above, in the 1 Annual Report of the Sonnblick Association for 1892 has been published, quoted Obermayer: "On September 1, evening Kolm was agreed Saigurn for the opening day of the House, a program that also contained provisions for the transport of the already numerous party guests arrived.

The driveway With the lift of Kolm began to power house on 2 September, shortly after sunrise. Each two honored guests were accompanied by two squires in the Erzwägelchen in twelve minutes over the 1,500 m long track pulled up. Thus the first 580 meters of the climb from 1550 to 3106 m had been overcome.

ten minutes took the lowering of the cart. So per hour could be carried about 12 people. There were so many guests come that had some rise through the Maschingraben walk. Crevasses were on the southern slope Sonnblick not open, so that everyone could go without a rope. Also from the Carinthian side visitors on local industry glacier.

clock was at 12 noon the house was inaugurated by the Archbishop of Salzburg, accompanied by the pastor Rauriser Pimpel. When passing the house of representatives of the Meteorological Society DäAV the dedication for purely scientific purposes has been expressed. Obermayer thanked on behalf of the Meteorological Society and put the care and welfare of the house Rojacher continue to prey. The banquet was held after 18.00 clock in Kolm Saigurn instead.


idealist heritage preserved Rojach

Throughout its history, the stock of the weather station was repeatedly threatened. A year after the death Rojach (1844 1891), the first emergency call was sent into the country. In Vienna, formed the Sonnblick club whose idealistic members Rojach preserved heritage. The club has fulfilled his duty to this day the house opposite true. A bitter crisis came when a foreign mining company useless on their departure 1897 destroyed all the plants.

Today would be a demolition industriearchäologisch valuable monuments speak. Why is the mining company could put such a vandalism, so far not been clarified, because the blast of the Maschinhauses, the entire mining assets devalued significantly. With the knowledge gained from the removal of the inclined lift the timber-framed house in Kolm and the miners' house on the High Goldberg was heated. From now on, the supply of the weather center with food and fuel was very difficult. Carriers had all the goods on their backs by Kolm Saigurn carry up.

was soon attached to the observatory the Zittelhaus. After his extension anno 1910, was one of the most beautiful houses the DäAV. The Alpine Club is to thank that Zittelhaus electric light and weather center received.

Significant Sonnblick observers

The 52-year-old miner Simon Neumayer was the first who dared and proved that a person on the top could survive the high Sonnblick one winter. After a terrible Südsturm of 7 to 11 November 1886, which also destroyed the telephone, he was considered dead were in the papers already obituaries. He was succeeded another mountain man, Peter Lechner, the 1887-1894 observer services provided. He had helped himself Rojacher under construction at the weather center and Zittelhaus. Partly from its own resources, he saved the observatory after the untimely death Rojach over a critical time.

His open, honest and unadorned rough being aroused in some quarters, especially displeased with tourists. From 1894 to 1901, the sorely tried, often unfairly the hostility Exbeobachter lived on the Langreithhof in Seidlwinkl Valley. In 1885 he was severely injured in a brawl in Wörth. He then has the "Langreithgütl" and is sold in the Lechner house in the "stone box Gütl '(Bucheben No. 49) at the mouth of the Krumlbaches in the Hüttwinklache drawn where his wife nursed him until his death Sephi.

was when Lechner cottage, conditionally approved by Lechner moved, a small cottage weather observer with the necessary instruments. Lechner's last thoughts were about the Sonnblick. Parallel to the observation station at the Lechner Häusl was the establishment of a meteorological station III. Order in Mölltal considered. Why is it not then come to the chronicle is silent.

Observers Adam Waggerl followed in 1897 Johann Moser from Holy Blood, a prominent leader Glockner. Unfortunately, he died on 6 September 1898 in the observer room on the Sunday summit view a lonely death. Now George Hasenknopf was hired, but also Alois Sepp from Rosenberg in St. Peter's in the Mölltal in Carinthia, first of all, however, in at Peter Lechner Bucheben.

After two weeks of enrollment in the summit observatory was one Sepper on the waiting list. Only in May 1898 he was appointed to the summit weather observatory. In October 1899 he took over from Hasenknopf, where he worked until 1905. Macarius Janschütz was hired in 1899 as a second observer. 1899 the Rojacherhütte was inaugurated. The celebration was marred by a crash: Georg Zembacher, Standl the host from Wörth, crashed fatally on top of the little ones Sonnblickkees.

Alois Sepper and Christian, the "Rosenbergs', and distinguished themselves" with special ability in supporting scientific work "out. So at least put it Josef Bend! In his book "The Sonnblick calls. The minutes of the General Assembly of the Sonnblick association of 23 March 1901 confirmed this statement: "The observations on the Sonnblick were led by Alois Sepp and his brother Christian, to the complete satisfaction of the Central Institute for Meteorology, thus providing the Sonnblick observations again a higher degree of reliability obtained.

Sepp and Lechner

The termination of the esteemed meteorologists in circles Alois Sepper favor of the Alpine Club Josef Külbel favorite was the professionals of Sonnblick Association and Central Institute hard. Councilor Dr. JM Perntner wrote Alois Sepper at the termination of an approving letter in which he stressed the "extraordinary satisfaction" with his service, accuracy and reliability of the observations "and" zeal and skill in relation to the service Officials' praise and his desire to give expression, that he soon gets the opportunity, thinks his services as an observer "of other ward used" again.

parison was Dr. Valentin enrolled for six weeks and introduced into service shortly thereafter announced the newcomer. Christian Sepper bridged the time allowed to meet to start work by Alexander Lechner from Mayrhofen, the reasons found by the departure of Christian Sepperers in a difficult situation. Only when this his uncle Johann Lechner, the situation was favorable.



In December 1906 there was a tragedy on Sunday look


On December 4, Alexander Lechner, coming from the sun look at the post office in Rauris arrived to send a box of meteorological observations. On the same day he returned to Kolm and should on 5 December to arrive in the weather center. Elizabeth Noel was the cook, despite dire warnings Johann Lechner not stop to walk towards her boss. Violent snowstorm prevented Alexander from moving up. But the cook did not come back anymore. They froze to death near the Rojacherhütte and was buried in an ebony.



Many gave their lives for the Sonnblick

Rauriser He was a simple carpenter, worked as a squire under Rojacher and made in the years 1908-1916, 1918/19 and 1922/23, and service as a weather station: Matthias Mayacher. He saved the observatory on the hard years of World War II over, had to give up but in September 1919, because the community Rauris was too poor to be able to cater for him. The Heiligenblut Matthias Brandstätter and his brother followed him in service. Mayacher died 1925th From 1923 to 1933 Leonard and Marianne Winkler sided heavy freight.

worth mentioning is the surrender of the Sonnblick meteorological observatory of the Austrian company to the Sonnblick Association, established by the German Kaiser Wilhelm Society of Sciences in Berlin in 1926 to a significant financial support for the continued operation of the altitude observatory received. On 21 March 1928 cost an avalanche accident thirteen young skiers life. End of the twenties was discussed, prepared by Chief Engineer Tritschel Sonnblick cable car project, but unfortunately not realized.

In November 1933, Leonard Winkler seriously injured and died. Supported by her brother Hans Mühlthaler, his widow continued the service for several months. Then dissolved Louise Mühlthaler from her sister. Hans Mühlthaler announced 1939th During World War sided Ferdinand Mayr and Friedl Fleissner vlg. Went along with Mr. and Mrs. George and Maria Rupitsch service on the weather center. Already in September 1942 the Air Force had taken over the care of the observatory.

Friedl Fleissner, mountain guides from Heiligenblut, was ordered back from the front and reassigned to the Sonnblick. When the couple Rupitsch accident, he took risks with their lives a futile rescue attempt. Georg and Maria Rupitsch suffered on 9 November 1944 white death, they were buried in Holy Blood. How did that depicts young Friedl Doyle, the son of then same observer.. "It was All Saints in 1944 Maria Rupitsch drove off with the skis to Kolm Saigurn to errands to make

The weather was the next day to some extent. they rose at noon on Sundays in the direction of view. Previously, she agreed her husband George by radio that it's going. George told her to go quickly, he wanted to meet her, it was before a storm roll-over. Clock at 16.00, he went to meet her, the weather had by this time much worse, it began to snow and to a strong storm came up. Since the couple did not arrive until 19.00 clock to Friedl Fleissner started searching, but only got to about 200 m below the weather center.

He still hung a strong light on the tower, to be sure to come back again. He had to cancel the search, he saw no light, there was a drop in temperature of 20 degrees with orkanartigem storm and had difficulty even, way back again to the weather station. Sun took the fate of its course. Friedl Fleissner hoped that the couple had come across in the Rupitsch Rojacherhütte or direction Kolm-Saigurn was vice versa.

The next day there was no sign of life, agreed Fleissner Heiligenblut the mountain rescue service. The guides Valentin Unterkircher, Josef Lackner, Ernst Keller and Joseph Kellner went on 2 Day on both the search and found Brett and between Tramerkopf charter to Salzburg page froze about 50 m away from each other, they were.

Because Maria always had with her dog, you could find that had taken two. The dog was tied to the backpack by George found. The two dead were to Heiligenblut brought in so-called "hard Häusl ', which belonged to them, laid and buried in the local cemetery.



cries Sonnblick!

The most difficult time for the observatory came with the war, because the sun was out of sight Association monies and was deprived of any sources of money. This must be Dr H. Mesal, former senior civil servant in the former kingdom of meteorological services, are called the representatives of the American occupation forces for the continuation of the waiting motivated.

With a cable car construction was started in autumn 1946, but has only the following year put into service. In severe winter of 1946-47 had made the observers the air are supplied. The Americans dropped coal and potatoes, with some bags burst and the cinders were scattered over the glacier.

completed in 1947 by Kolman Notseilbahn the summit collapsed in August 1949. The end seemed to be close to the observatory. But the support costs reached 1950 60.000 Schilling. The view from the Sunday Club sent out emergency faded almost unheard. Only in the last hour of school children jumped to the rescue and only by the continued existence of the observatory was finally secured.

On the initiative of the teachers Edmund Bendl a successful fundraising campaign in the Viennese school children has been launched to ultimately, increased private donations with government aid meant that could be built as a result the important aerial ropeway.

On 22 October 1949, married Sonnblick Wetterwart Hermann Rubisoier the Preimistochter Genevieve Granögger from Holy Blood, the second weather station that was. In the summer of 1954, the couple Rubisoier at his own request in the weather department Salzburg was added. As a new observer Josef and Johann Bernhard came from Döllach Edthofer from Mattighofen.



the International Geophysical Year 1957/58, a StrahIungsmessturm

built in 1961 celebrated the 75th anniversary of the meteorological station in the market with a historical Rauris Removals. There also was a meteorological conference, then the company went hard after a night in Kolm Saigurn walk up to the Sonnblick summit. For 90-year anniversary anno 1976, repeated the parade spectacle that has been documented in the film "Tauern gold."

began in 1981 after extensive planning work on the construction of the observatory. Without massive helicopter operation, the construction would not have been realized. For the centenary, after several years of construction the new, the latest equipment on the observatory opened Sonnblick. To mark this milestone anniversary, an exhibition was arranged to see in Vienna, Salzburg and Rauris.
