The Augustus shaft was a coal mine owned by the Baron von Burgker coal and ironworks . The shaft was located in the central part of the hard coal deposit of the Döhlen Basin in the so-called Lower Revier at the foot of the Windberg on Deubener Flur .
history
The Barons von Burgker Steinkohlen- und Eisenhüttenwerke began digging the shaft in 1846 . The at 210.6 m above sea level. In 1849, the shaft, set aside , reached a depth of 342.60 meters. From 269.2 meters, the first seam with a thickness of 4.00 meters was intersected. The second seam, which was cut at 277.60 meters, was 1.50 meters thick. At 282 meters the 3rd seam with a thickness of 1.30 meters and at 300 meters the 4th seam with a thickness of 0.20 meters were intersected. The 3rd and 4th seam only consists of a layer of fire slate. The shaft is on the Augustusschächter saddle . From here the seams dip to the southeast and northwest. Around the 1st seam align one was at a depth of 305.60 meters crosscut to southeast and 340.70 meters depth, a cross-cut to the northwest ascended . The Augustusschächter Fault was approached in the southeast . The jump height is 52 meters. Even before the fault, the construction limit had been reached with a seam thickness of only one meter. In the western field too, the seam thickness sank to 0.80 meters.
In 1847, a 160-meter-long rose was created to drain the pit . It had its mouth on the right bank of the Weißeritz at the mouth of the Poisenbach . From 1849, the entire coal production was transferred via the Rösche to the coal sorting station on the left of the Weißeritz. On April 2, 1856, the coal expedition was connected to the Albertsbahn AG line (Dresden – Tharandt) via the Deubener coal railway .
In 1852 the breakthrough to the neighboring Wilhelminenschacht was reached . The daily route Unteres Revier in Burgk , where the hut house of the Burgker works was also located, served as a journey for the team .
A miner was killed in a firedamp explosion in 1855.
In 1857 a gas generation plant was built for personal use. A driving art was put into operation in 1871 to drive the workforce . It was the only two-wing art of driving a coal mine in the Döhlen basin. Afterwards, the journey over the daily route Unteres Revier was stopped and a centrifugal fan of the Guibal type was installed here. The Augustus shaft served as a retracting shaft. A telegraph line was set up between the Augustus shaft and the ventilator station to better coordinate the weather .
From 1848 to 1873, the lime seam, which is 26 meters deep, was mined for the Burgker Werke's own use. The seam used had a maximum thickness of two meters, of which only about 0.80 meters could be used. The total output of lime was 62,940 bushels , which were burned on site in the Poisental. The lime was rich in fossils, it contained fossils of reptiles and amphibians. The occurrence of Branchiosaurus amblystomus , which was first scientifically described by Hermann Credner, is remarkable .
After depletion of inventories has been promoting on November 28, 1893 set and the shaft dropped . In 1894 the shaft was arched to a depth of 126 meters and the shaft was filled. After the daytime facilities were demolished, only the civil servants' residence at Rotkopf-Görg-Straße 28 remained. It is used for residential purposes. The total output over the operating time was 2,290,825 tons.
The power station for Plauenschen Grund , which went into operation on August 16, 1896, was built on the site of the coal washing plant and the coal expedition . In 1929 the power plant was shut down but not demolished. Until 1974, the systems were still used to supply power to the trams and the Deuben freight railway . In 2012 and 2013 the unused buildings were demolished.
In 1993 the mountain security service cleared the rose with a die and the manhole in an allotment garden was kept at the level of the rose .
