History
eeditAt the turn o the past century the Erzberg (Ore Muntain) furnished sic rich ore that it wis quarried in the open air lik stane, in the simmer months. Thare is documentary evidence o the mines haein been wirked as far back as the 12t century. Thay affordit employment tae twa or three thoosan haunds in simmer an aboot hauf as mony in winter, an yieldit some 800,000 tons o iron per annum.
Durin World War II, a subcamp o Mauthausen concentration camp wis locatit here. It providit slave labour for local industry.[3] Eisenerz wis connectit wi the mines bi the Erzberg railwey, a bauld piece o ingineerin wirk, fowerteen miles (21 km) lang, constructit on the Abt's rack-an-pinion seestem. It passed throu some bonnie scenery, an descends tae Vordernberg, an important centre o the iron tred situatit on the sooth side o the Erzberg. Eisenerz possesses, in addition, twinty-five furnaces, which produce iron, an pairticularly steel, o exceptional excellence. The day the Erzberg is hame tae motocross races.
