The Roll Call Room (Sala de apel)

When the Rudolf and Gisela mines were open the existing cone type chambers were used. From the southern extraction shaft of the Theresa mine a horizontal gallery with a length of 10 fathoms (approximately 19m) was carved, then a descending shaft to the Franz Joseph transportation gallery, which was later extended down to the sublevel from where opening of the transverse gallery of the Rudolf mine was started and to the access bridge at the northern area of the Theresa mine where the opening of the Ghizela mine was started.

 In order to prepare the connection to the transportation gallery, the descending shaft was enlarged to the level of the future galleries, which resulted in the creation of an undergrond chamber.

Since access into and out of the mine was made through this relatively confined space, the room was the perfect place to keep track of people entering and leaving the Rudolf mine. This is why it was called the "roll call room."

The altar was sculpted in salt for religious services and prayers before the miners started their shift. once a week a religious service conducted by a priest was held here, where leaders of mine, but also the nobility from the area used to take part.
