OK, folks, I am doing a text on salt mines and I hit this word. I do not even know its root, so any help would be appreciated. It only occurs ONCE in this 100+ page document. Here is the offending sentence:
In Vorbereitung dieser Arbeiten wurde auch der Schacht {Name}in {Location} wieder aufgewältig, so dass er als Flucht und Wetterschacht zur Verfügung stand.
The "Arbeiten" they are talking about is the stabilization of the various rooms in the mine that need thicker pillars and such.
All contributions gratefully accepted.
