Blech: Every miner had a small mark called "Blech" or "Stong" with his worker number. These were hung on the minecart, and an identical copy hung on the wall at the foremans office.

"Buggi" minecarts: these minecarts were used to transport the iron ore rich rocks out of the mine, via small gauge railway setups. These minecarts were locally produced.

The "Fischi" or "Nuesschnappech" was used as a towel to clean up sweat as well as as a mask - and more.

Now it gets dangeous: „Gare la mine!" was the warning cry used to warn others in the mineshaft of an imminent detonation. 

The mineworkers main tools: The "Péckel", as it is called in Luxembourgish.

Rats were the mineworkers' favorite pets - but not because they were particularly cute. Rather, they became good indicators of imminent danger

The "helleg Barbara/Boarbel/Bäerbel" (St. Barbara) is the patron saint of the Mineworkers and other professions that get close to fire, explosions and danger (such as the military or firefighters...). Every December 4th, the festivities surrounding "Boarbelendag" are announced by cannon blast.
