The Arbacher Einigkeit iron ore mine was located in Salchendorf , a district of the Neunkirchen community in the Siegen-Wittgenstein district in North Rhine-Westphalia . The pit was on the southern slope of the Pfannenberg below the Pfannenberger Einigkeit mine in a small side valley of the Arbach . The mine was located about 800 m north-west of the daytime facilities (coordinates: 50 ° 48 ′ 39 ″ N , 8 ° 0 ′ 4 ″ E ).
Aisle means
The passage means Young Beech and Old Beech were almost 70 m long and 2-3 m thick, up to 4 m thick at the depth. The Sporer corridor was 80-100 m long and 2-3 m thick, all three corridors mostly led to Spateisenstein . The Braune Arbach and Weisse Arbach corridors were 1–2 m thick and led to brown and spate iron stone with copper ore . The corridors Kohlgarten , Schölerchen , Salzrumpf , Streitberg and Schottel became increasingly worse in depth. In addition to the courses mentioned, the old compass and young compass also belonged to the mine.

The pit was initially one of the best pits in the Freie Grund . Pinging trains on the Arbach and Rinnchen fields are up to 400 m long and indicate old mining. In 1807 the Arbacher Einigkeit mine was created through a consolidation of the following mine fields:

In the same year the deep Arbach tunnel was created. A wing location in the tunnel led 158 m to the Rinnchen pit field . The compass gear mean was reached towards the end of 1850, in 1864 the stocks of the old compass , the young beech and other gear means were depleted. After 1860, extraction from greater depths began , even before a real shaft was built.
In 1873 a blind shaft was sunk as a machine shaft in the Kohlenbacher tunnel , it had a size of 4.3 × 3 m and a depth of 134 m, which was 290 m below the surface of the earth. The ore was removed through a 500 m long tunnel . In the upper Arbach tunnel, there was a cross passage to the shaft at a depth of 54 m. The shaft itself was equipped with a twin hoisting machine with 20 HP and a water retention machine with 45 HP. In 1875 the deep tunnel was cut through . In 1883 the first cable car ride from the Kohlenbacher tunnel (1st level) took place. Two years later the 60 m level was reached and in 1887 the 100 m level, the shaft was 105 m deep at that time. In 1897 the 6th level was reached at 245 m.
In 1840, 200-300 t of brown iron stone and some colored copper gravel were mined, in 1848 the output was over 1,000 t for the first time. From then on, the funding rose continuously. In 1885 it was over 13,000 tons of iron stone and 65 tons of copper ore. Between 1880 and the closure of the mine, the annual output was between 10,000 and 18,000 t of iron ore. The total production of the mine was 397,399 tons of iron stone . 17 employees were employed in 1862, 36 in 1885 and 45 in 1893.
In 1901 the mine was closed after it passed into the possession of the neighboring Pfannenberger Einigkeit mine in 1898/1899 for 90,000 marks . One of the reasons for the closure was probably the outdated, wooden and stiff mine cars . Another reason was found in the old mine buildings, which were not suitable for the mining of iron ore at greater depths and it was not worth digging deeper.
After the shutdown in 1906, the hoisting machine and daytime systems were sold, followed by the water holding machine and air compressor in 1909. At the same time the machine building with the chimney was demolished. Shortly before the First World War , a tunnel was driven on the Pfannenberg 450 m level in the direction of Arbacher Einigkeit . Later a blind shaft was sunk at 550 m in the pit. The tunnel made it possible to convey the excavated rock via the existing systems on the Pfannenberg. In 1936, the dismantling work in the Arbach mine field ended.
