By linking it to the main adit (Hauptstollen) south of Straßberg, the Hüttenstollen was expanded to become the central drainage adit for the Straßberg pits of Getreuer Bergmann (formerly Gott hilft gewiß), Glückauf (formerly Hilfe Gottes) and Zum Schwarzen Hirsch.

The Richtschacht was started up in 1858 as a 180 m long mineshaft with an underground wheelhouse (Radstube) and was linked to the Hüttenstollen.

The adit lost its function when the Straßberg pits closed and has collapsed in places.

The Richtschacht was verbühnt and collapsed (verstürzt); neither winch (Hornstatt) nor wheelhouse (Radstube) has survived.

The walled mouth of the Hüttenstollen on the Selke is still visible and, like the site of the Richtschacht, is marked with a mining information board.
