The Altendorfer Erbstollen , also known as Altendorfer Erbstolln , was an Erbstollen in Essen-Burgaltendorf . From 1812 the mine was also partly called Altendorfer Schacht. The tunnel mouth hole was opposite Dahlhausen . A total of three Altendorfer Erbstollen were operated at different times in the Essen city area.

history

The first years

The granting of the fairness to the hereditary tunnel took place in 1722. It was the oldest award in the area of the later Vereinte Pörtingsiepen / Carl Funke mine . First of all, the hereditary tunnel was created in order to release the pit water for seven mines located in the catchment area of the tunnel. Therefore, the tunnel was from a tributary of the Ruhr from east to west ascended . In 1776 a second Altendorfer tunnel was probably set up and driven. On April 15, 1788, the Längenfeld Altendorfer Bank was awarded . Simultaneously with the assumption of the Längenfeld Altendorfer Bank, an application was made to create a second hereditary tunnel. This tunnel was driven northwards from the Gramberger Bach. The main trades of the tunnel were the Spennemann families from Sprockhövel and Mintrop from Altendorf. In 1788 the fairness of the tunnel was renewed for the first tunnel.

In 1800 operations in the Längenfeld Altendorfer Bank were closed and the first tunnel was driven further west. 1805 the light hole 2 was sunk ; In addition, the first tunnel was driven further. The mining took place at the Peter and Conrad shafts . The coal was transported to the coal storage facility on the Ruhr via a 150 Lachter long railroad . In 1810, light hole 3 was sunk and the first hereditary tunnel was continued, and coal mining continued. On September 15, 1813, operation 442 Lachter west of Lichtloch 1 was suspended . From 1815 onwards the tunnel was driven again. In October 1820, the company was consolidated with the Große Varstbank mine into Große Varstbank & Altendorfer Erbstollen .

The last few years

In 1836 the trades of the United Große Vaerstbank colliery planned to replace the Altendorfer Erbstollen, which had been awarded in 1788, by a new one to be called the Großer Erbstollen. In 1836 a third Altendorfer Erbstollen was awarded and started. However, due to the impending civil engineering work on the Altendorfer Mulde colliery , it no longer gained any special significance. In 1838 the first tunnel reached a length of over 2,400 meters and now reached as far as Hattingen-Niederwengern. In 1847 the Große Varstbank mine was closed and the Altendorfer Erbstollen mine became an independent operation again. Maintenance work was carried out in the tunnel. After another conservation work in 1854, the mine Altendorfer Erbstolln on 14 October 1855 several smaller mining operations became the colliery Altendorf civil engineering consolidated .
