Göttelborn is an urban part of Quierschied. At Göttelborn, there was until 2000 coal mining. The mine had a tunnel length of 100 kilometres and 4 shafts. Near the transmitter, which belongs besides the pit to the most famous architectural structures of Göttelborn, there is a remarkable water tower ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Wasserturm-G%C3%B6bo-177.jpg ).
