The Ottiliae-Schacht in Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany, is a historic mining site that dates back to the 19th century. It was one of the principal shafts of the Upper Harz silver mines and played a significant role in the region's mining industry. The mine was particularly notable for its innovative use of technology, including one of the first steam engines in the Harz mining district. Today, the Ottiliae-Schacht is a preserved industrial monument and part of the Upper Harz Mining Museum, where visitors can explore the history of mining in the area through guided tours and exhibits.
