The Beckerschacht was a coal mine of the Hänichener Steinkohlenbauverein . The shaft was located in the eastern part of the hard coal deposit of the Döhlen basin on the Hänichener Flur.

history

The Hänichener Steinkohlenbauverein began to sink the shaft in 1846 . The shaft stood directly in the Becker shaft fault , which streaked from south-east to north-west and which reached a height of 70 m here. The shaft, set at 308.50 m above sea level, reached a depth of 352.70 meters. The shaft's deepest point was reached in 1849. The northeast field was aligned from here. At a depth of 282 meters, a cross passage was made to develop the south-western field. In the shaft itself, the first seam was cut in a block of the fault only 20 meters wide at 306 meters with a thickness of 1.80 meters. The shaft had a solid, brick-built hothouse in the style of a Malakoff tower , but with a completely unadorned facade. A steam engine with an output of 80 hp was used for the promotion. The steam engine of the dewatering made 36 hp.

On October 21, 1856, the connection of the shaft to the newly built Hänichener Kohlenzweigbahn , which made it much easier to transport the coal, was cleared. On April 1, 1857, traffic began.

The shaft cut through the 0.30 meter thick second seam, 3 meters below the first seam, and the 1.00 meter thick third seam 1.80 meters below the second seam. While the 2nd seam is only a fire slate layer, the 3rd seam consists of hard slate coal. The main seam in the vicinity of the Beckerschacht, up to 3 meters thick, reached a thickness of up to 5 meters in a westerly direction.

In 1872, a processing plant for coal was built in the mine.

In the years 1875 to 1880, the pits were extensively modernized on the initiative of the mountain manager Richard Baldauf .

In 1876 the entire shaft, including the shaft building , machine house and hoisting machine, was rebuilt and expanded. In the months of July to September, the shaft building was partially demolished, a new hoisting machine, a bobbin , built in, the shaft head was lined and the broken shaft from 1866 was also provided with brick.

In 1885, the coal mined in the Berglustschacht mining area was taken over. In 1886, a telephone system from Siemens & Halske was installed between the hanging bank and the filling words for the conveyor operation . In October 1887, the route support with horses was started. In 1898 the remaining areas of the Berglust shaft were taken over and dismantled. Due to the lack of further areas for mining, a fiscal part of the field was leased from them in the Poisental and parts of the field on the border to the Barons von Burgker Steinkohlen- und Eisenhüttenwerke . From 1900 onwards, only a small part was mined in the own field. In the following period, the building limits were reached in the south and south-west. In August 1905 50 workers were laid off. The remaining 30 workers only extracted coal for their own use in the shaft to maintain the water drainage and ventilation . After the production was stopped in July 1906, the shaft was backfilled in the same year. The greenhouse was blown up on April 23, 1906.

After the shaft was kept in safekeeping, the residents of Hänichen and Welschhufen created a sports field with a gym on the dump in 1921, which is now the “Poisenblick sports facility”.

In 1973 the shaft was subsequently kept by the Dresden mountain rescue service .
