The David Mine (Davidgrube; after 1950 also known as Tytus) was an underground bituminous-coal mine in the Konradów district of Wałbrzych, in Lower Silesia. From 1907 it was worked together with the neighbouring Fuchs Mine, and in the 20th century became part of the wider Fuchs–David mining complex of the Waldenburg coal district. Its best-known surviving remnant is the reinforced-concrete headframe of the Tytus shaft, erected in 1924 and described by the National Heritage Board of Poland as a pioneering structure in the Lower Silesian coal basin.
