The Hagenbeck colliery is a former colliery in Essen-Altendorf . It is probably the oldest documented colliery in the Ruhr area . The name Hagenbeck stands for a brook in the forest . Even today some street names in Altendorf remind of this mine.
Mining history
Beginnings to Consolidation
Already in 1575 a mine "Auf der Goes" was mentioned in a document in a mining code . It was the predecessor of the later Hagenbeck colliery. In 1637 the “Auf dem Steut” coal mine was mentioned in documents, and from around 1735 the mine on the Steut was referred to as the Hagenbeck mine. The host Kämper tunnel solves the pits of the mine from 1750. In 1757 the called pen mistress the trades on to edit the bill Hagenbeck. The construction of the substation began .
Around 1772 the colliery was in poor condition. Fettlappen was dismantled in the coal works , which belonged to Hagenbeck, and the operation of six substations with pumps began. From 1775 onwards there were disputes with Schulte-Hergbrüggen because a tunnel to loosen the substations was set too deep. However, there was probably no agreement, as operations at the colliery were almost completely shut down and only little subsidized until 1815.
From 1809, like many other mines in the Ruhr district, preparations were made for civil engineering . In 1814 the Reich Chamber of Commerce in Wetzlar approved civil engineering and one year later civil engineering began with tunnel shafts. The mining authority stipulated that the two mines Fettlappen and Beckstadt were named in Hagenbeck, as different unions built these seams .
From 1820 the two mines Hagenbeck and Krabbenbank were operated together, and in 1836 the two mines were consolidated with the other mines Nettelnkönig and Wiehagen to form the United Hagenbeck mine .
After the name change
The United Hagenbeck colliery took the name of its predecessor Hagenbeck again in 1897. There were four square fields and several length fields ; the colliery had a total area of 5.3 km². The Hagenbeck colliery had two shafts, two weather shafts and a coking plant . 271,458 tons were deployed. In 1898, shaft 1 was sunk deeper and the pit fields of the disused Hobeisen and Neuschölerpad collieries were taken over . The coking plant was expanded from 60 to 90 ovens.
Shaft 1 received an iron headframe in 1900 , previously Shaft 2 received such a scaffold in 1899. 428,081 tons of coal were exported from the mine. On August 16, 1901, the hoisting machine of shaft 2 broke, and for a few weeks it was only possible to mine for a few weeks. In 1902 teufte to the Bergeschächtchen with a diameter of 2 m to the seam Rieck bank and began the dismantling of the fields Hobeisen and Neuschölerpad. A new briquette factory was put into operation in 1904. In 1905 454,066 tons of coal were mined. The Holsterhausen and Neuschölerpad weather shafts were sunk deeper by 1906.
In 1910, the 6th layer level was started at shaft 2 at a depth of 526 m . The Holsterhausen weather shaft was in operation up to the 5th shift in 1912. In 1913, 511,177 tons were mined, in 1915 307,841 tons and in 1920 with 296,519 tons of coal a little less than 1915, but significantly less than in 1913. A third weather shaft was sunk from 1922 and up to 1925 it was driven up to the third layer at a depth of 224 meters.
From 1927 the gradual cessation of operations at the Hagenbeck colliery began, the closure of the briquette factory was followed by the closure of the coking plant on October 1, 1927. However, the maximum output was reached in 1927 with 517,376 tons of coal. The mining operation was discontinued on July 15, 1928, and the Rosenblumendelle colliery took over the mining field.
