Zakłady Górnicze Nowy Dwór

Poland · built 1881

The Nowy Dwór mine (Neuhof, Neuhofgrube, Neue Viktoria-Neuhofgrube) was an underground zinc and lead ore mine that operated between 1881 and 1978. It was located in Dąbrowa Miejska (a district of Bytom), on Nowy Dwór Street. The facility was established alongside the start of ore mining in the Bytom area due to the depletion of deposits near Tarnowskie Góry. Before World War II, several neighboring mines (including Neue Victoria and Fiedlersglück) were incorporated into it. After the war, in the 1960s, it became part of the Orzeł Biały Mining and Metallurgical Plant based in Piekary Śląskie. The mine was closed in 1978 due to the depletion of the deposits. No trace of it remains on the surface, and the A1 motorway now passes through its former site.
