history

The beginnings

The Brassert union was founded in 1905. The Brassert colliery was founded in the same year. The rightful consisted of the fields Brassert, consol. Brassert, Brassert I, Brassert II, Brassert IV, Brassert V, Brassert VI and Brassert VIII to Brassert XI. In addition, the field Brassert continued I. The entire rights covered an area of 15.8 km ² , this corresponded to seven maximum fields. In 1906 the sinking work of shaft 1 began. The bay was in Südfeld recognized and freezing created. Freezing work on shaft 2 began the following year. This shaft was placed next to shaft 1. In 1908, the sinking of shaft 2 began. In shaft 1, water penetrated at a depth of 35 meters. Because of this water ingress, the sinking work on shaft 1 had to be interrupted for three months. The following year, the shaft 1 reached at a depth of 506 meters carbon . In the same year, the first level was set at a depth of 570 meters (−518 m above sea level ). In 1910, the second level was set in shaft 1 at a depth of 649 meters (−595 m above sea level). In addition, shaft 2 was penetrated with the first level in the same year . Shaft 2 was put into operation as a cable car and weather shaft . Funding started in the same year .

The other years

In 1911, shaft 2 was penetrated with the second level. This year, the rights of entitlement were divided into a southern and a northern part. The southern part consisted of the fields Brassert, Brassert I and II, Brassert IV, Brassert X and XI and consol. Brassert. The northern part consisted of the fields Brassert III, Brassert VI and VII, Brassert IX, Stone II, Stone IX and Stone XI. Since the coal in the mine was particularly hard, it was extracted by cutting . As early as 1913, two British Pick-Quick cutting machines were in use. In the same year, a new weather bed was set at a depth of 503 meters (−451 m above sea level) . In 1915, the Brassert colliery became a member of the Rheinisch-Westphalian coal syndicate . In 1922, the assets of the Brassert union were taken over by the Rheinische Stahlwerke (Rheinstahl) . Despite the takeover by Rheinstahl, the Brassert union initially remained in its old corporate form. In 1925, mining began in the southern field. Cutting machines were used to extract the coal in the flat seams . At first bar cutting machines were used, later chain cutting machines were increasingly used. On June 26, 1926, there was a firedamp explosion at the Brassert colliery , killing three miners . In 1930 the sinking work on shaft 1 was resumed and the shaft was sunk deeper. The following year was one at a depth of 753 meters (-701 m NN) midsole set. In the years up to 1933, an average of up to ten cutting machines were in use in the mining operations. 3/4 of the total output of the mine was achieved with these machines.

In 1933, the third level was set in shaft 1 at a depth of 826 meters (−774 m above sea level). In 1938 the sinking work on shaft 2 was resumed and the shaft was sunk deeper. In the same year, work began on building another shaft. In 1939, shaft 3 ( 51 ° 40 ′ 41.1 ″ N , 7 ° 4 ′ 24.9 ″ E ) was set in the north field 1.6 km northwest of the shaft system 1/2 . In 1940, shaft 2 was penetrated with the third level. In 1942, shaft 3 reached the third level driven by construction site 1/2 . In 1943, shaft 3 reached its final depth, it was 1020 meters. However, due to the war and post-war conditions, shaft 3 did not go into operation until later. In 1946 the mine consisted of the two operating parts 1/2 and 3. The main extraction level was the 3rd level. The rightful covered an area of 16.6 km ² . In 1949, the fourth level was set in shaft 3 at a depth of 933 meters (−896 m above sea level). In 1951, shaft 1 was driven under in construction site 1/2 and deeper to the fourth level. In 1954, shaft 1 was sunk to a depth of 995 meters. In the same year, shaft 3 was put into operation. 51.678077777778 7.0735944444444

The last few years

In 1956, the pit field of the Brassert colliery consisted of the fields Brassert, Brassert I and II, Brassert IV, Brassert VI, Brassert IX to XI, consol. Brassert and Brassert continuation. The rights holders covered an area of 17.8 km ² . On January 1, 1958, the two business areas 1/2 and 3 were connected with each other. The 5th level became the delivery level. In 1960 its own power plant was put into operation. In 1962, the production at shaft 3 was stopped. The coal extracted from the construction site was conveyed underground to the old part of the company 1/2 and there it was conveyed above ground. In 1968 Rheinstahl Bergbau AG, the owner at the time, brought the mine into the newly founded Ruhrkohle AG . In 1970, Brassert was administratively merged with the Wulfen mine to form a works management. The mine was affiliated to the "Bergbau AG Herne / Recklinghausen". On August 15, 1972, the Brassert colliery was shut down. The day facilities were demolished in 1973. In 1974 the shafts were filled .

Promotion and workforce

Flame and gas flame coals were extracted in the mine. The first known funding and workforce figures come from 1910, when 265 employees produced 22,749 tons of hard coal . In 1913, the colliery already had 1,535 employees who produced around 430,000 tons of hard coal. In 1920, with 1958 employees, 331,095 tons of hard coal were mined. In 1925, production already reached the 500,000 ton mark. With 2925 employees, around 576,000 tons of hard coal were extracted. In 1930, 665,982 tons of hard coal were mined by 2,226 employees. In 1935, almost 720,000 tons of hard coal were mined with 1910 employees. In 1940 the production rose again to 926,494 tons of hard coal, this production was achieved with 2555 employees. In 1945 the production sank to 309,847 tons of hard coal, the workforce was 1905 employees. In 1950 the production rose again to 926,494 tons of hard coal, this production was achieved with 3396 employees. In 1955, the promotion passed the one million mark. With 4,437 employees, 1,092,525 tons of hard coal were mined this year. The highest extraction was raised in 1956 on Brassert with 1,163,368 tons. At that time the mine had 4,576 employees. In 1960, 3,310 employees produced 1,032,848 tons of hard coal. In 1965, around 730,000 tons of hard coal were extracted. The last known production and workforce figures for the mine are from 1975; 597,798 tons of hard coal were mined with 1217 employees.

Current usage

After the colliery was closed, the Zechenstrasse industrial area was built on a good two-thirds of the former colliery site, and today about a third of the area is taken up by the Brassert leisure area. Some of the colliery buildings have been preserved. The former health center and the porter's building has been the headquarters of the advertising company News-Media since 2012. The building was extensively renovated beforehand. The artists' association “Ma (r) lkasten” has been at home in the former brand control for over 30 years. The Marl eV travel association is located in the former locksmith's shop of the Brassert colliery

The mining dumps Halde Brassert I / II (partly removed again for the industrial area Zechenstrasse) and Halde Brassert III .
