The mining company Barbara Erzbergbau GmbH , based in the East Westphalian town of Porta Westfalica in North Rhine-Westphalia , is now the operator of the last German iron ore mine , the Wohlverwahrt-Nammen mine . The company Barbara Erzbergbau GmbH was spun off from Barbara Rohstoffe GmbH in 2003 as part of a conversion and entrusted with active mining.
Predecessor company
United Stahlwerke Rohstoffe GmbH
When the United Stahlwerke AG ( VSt or VESTAG ) was founded in 1926 as an amalgamation of major German steel groups , the predecessor companies brought in their extensive mine holdings. While the activities in the field of hard coal mining were held by the Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG , the Rohstoffbetriebe GmbH was established as a subsidiary for ore mining on December 7, 1933 . In total, she owned around 5000 authorized persons in Germany. In the 1930s, iron ore mining expanded significantly. The reason lay in the four-year plan of the National Socialists .
Barbara Erzbergbau AG
After the Second World War , VESTAG was broken up as a former arms company and the production operations were taken over by successor companies. Barbara Erzbergbau AG , based in Siegen , later Düsseldorf, was founded as a holding for ore mining on March 18, 1953 . It was subordinate to mining administrations in central and southern Germany and, as a subsidiary, Erzbergbau Porta-Damme AG. On September 26, 1963, the stock corporation was converted into a GmbH .
In the 1960s, most of the company's iron ore mines were closed because the ironworks in the Ruhr area stopped purchasing domestic ores after 1961.
Barbara Rohstoffbetriebe GmbH
The resin-Lahn-ore mining AG with its remaining mine property was acquired on October 1, 1970, as the operating company of active mines on 20 March 1975, the Barbara Rohstoffbetriebe GmbH headquartered in Mettmann was founded. The original Barbara Erzbergbau GmbH was deleted on April 10, 1975. On August 5, 1993, the company's headquarters were relocated from Mettmann to Porta Westfalica.
Shareholder
The Barbara Rohstoffbetriebe GmbH was founded in 2001 by Barbara Beteiligungs-Gesellschaft mbH (17th founding in January 2001, based in Langenfeld) adopted and Jürgen Hennies. After the Fortuna mine near Wetzlar was closed in 1983, the only mine operated by the company was in Nammen . In the course of a conversion in 2003, the Nammen mine was transferred to the newly founded Barbara Erzbergbau GmbH.
Barbara Erzbergbau GmbH in Porta Westfalica has been in the hands of the quarry company Ferdinand Wesling GmbH & Co. KG since 2006 .
production
In the Wülpker Egge open-cast mine and Bergmannsglück underground mine , the ore is extracted by drilling and blasting and then driven to the processing plant by heavy goods vehicle . There, crushed sand, chippings, gravel and even larger chunks are produced by breaking and sieving, depending on the grain size . The iron-shed coral ole? Lite has not been used for iron extraction in the blast furnace for many years . Therefore, the name iron ore mine is controversial among experts. The grain sizes and mineral mixtures produced are used in the following industries, among others:
- Road, civil and hydraulic engineering ,
- Gardening and landscaping,
- Concrete and cement industry .
The Nammen pit operations department serves as a backfill mine . Residual materials from industry such as fly ash or gypsum from flue gas desulphurisation systems are brought in and compacted together with a binder in the large, disinherited mining chambers . In addition to recycling within the meaning of the Recycling and Waste Management Act , this also serves to protect the daily surface within the meaning of the Mining Law .
