expansion

The Dillenburg mining area had an area of ​​1317.22 km² and included the entire Dillenburg office and the offices of Herborn , Rennerod , Marienberg , Hachenburg , and the places Selters and Wallmerode of the Unterwesterwaldkreis . In the north it bordered the Altenkirchen and Siegen-Wittgenstein districts , in the east on the Biedenkopf and Wetzlar districts , in the south on the Oberlahnkreis and the Montabaur district , and in the west on the Koblenz and Neuwied districts. Neighboring mountain areas were Bergrevier Daaden-Kirchen , Bergrevier Siegen I , Bergrevier Siegen II , Bergrevier Müsen , Bergrevier Wetzlar , Bergrevier Weilburg , Bergrevier Diez , Bergrevier Hamm an der Sieg , as well as the territorial lordship Wittgenstein-Wittgenstein.

history

On September 1, 1559, the Nassau-Katzenelnbogische Bergordnung was issued by Count Wilhelm zu Nassau-Katzenelnbogen, Vianden and Diez. It was stipulated that various mountain officials were to be employed (mountain governor, mountain master, jury member, mountain clerk, counter-clerk, hut clerk, tester, shift supervisor, climber, etc.). The organization of the mining administration changed repeatedly later. On November 13, 1740, it was decided to abolish the previous separate offices of the Forestry Office and the Mining Office and to carry out all relevant matters through the Rentkammer. On March 12, 1765, a mining and smelter commission was set up in Dillenburg. It had its special boss (who was also forestry at the time) and was directly dependent on the state government. A member of the commission was appointed to deal with the actual details of the operation and to supervise the function of the miner, to which everything belonged that the office of chief miner in the Upper Harz mines included . A mining secretary was appointed to keep the protocols, the various mountain books (confirmation and prescription book, counter book, recess book, trading book, farewell and contract book) and the registry. A legal scholar from the law office had to participate in legal matters with a seat and a vote. In the case of the commission, the place of jurisdiction was all miners and smelters and mining officials, with the exception of real-life lawsuits in civil matters and serious crimes in criminal matters. When negotiating mining matters, the admission of correspondence was not entirely prohibited, but all matters that could be dealt with orally should not be recorded in writing. According to the rescript of March 6, 1769, the Berg- und Hütten -ommission zu Dillenburg was subordinated to the official college of Siegen as the first instance for legal mining and metallurgy matters; however, the jurisdiction of the first instance in these matters passed to the ordinary courts in July 1770. Furthermore, the ordinance of December 13th, 1778 stipulated that in all cases where we have been appealed by a knowledge of our mining and smelting commission and the files to obtain a further judgment, it must only be sent by ours Dependent on the mining commission and the same should, depending on the circumstances, decide whether to send the files to a mountain jury or to a university and its legal faculty . When the Orange parts of the country were incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Berg in 1807, the Mining and Huts Commission in Dillenburg was dissolved and a general administration for the mining and saltworks of the Grand Duchy of Berg was established in Düsseldorf.

After the greater part of the Principality of Siegen had been separated from the Principality of Dillenburg and merged with Prussia in 1815, a decree of the ducal State Ministry of Wiesbaden of December 5, 1815 decreed that the business administration of the re-established mining and smelting section in Dillenburg with the 20. of the same month should stop and pass to the administrative authorities ordered in Wiesbaden. By the sovereign edict of January 6, 1816, the mining and smelter management in the Duchy of Nassau was then the business district, which was by the edict of 9/11. September 1815 established state government in Wiesbaden, finally assigned. According to § 7 of this edict, the same had to take care of: the supervision of the mining and smelting operations, the granting of the permit for the creation of such works, issuing of the mining and mining certificates, supervision of the unions and their union accounts, handling the same with those issued to them Permits, insofar as they do not concern private law relationships, confirmation of the union servants appointed to direct the works . The local mining administration was under the state government.

By decree of April 3, 1816, the long-standing ban on the export of iron stone and lignite was lifted in order to allow the inhabitants of the duchy to use their property completely freely in this respect and to open up the way for them to sell it at the highest price .

During the reorganization of the local mining administration, which was carried out by the sovereign edict of October 4, 1826 and replaced the existing mountain administration authorities from January 1, 1827 for the entire duchy, two inspection districts or mining authorities with the headquarters in Dillenburg and Diez were established the Dillenburg mining department was assigned the offices of Dillenburg, Hachenburg, Hadamar, Herborn, Selters, Marienberg, Meudt (now Wallmerod), Rennerod and Weilburg. A miner was placed in front of the miner and a mine surveyor was employed by the state for the entire extent of the duchy. Later, the two administrative districts of Hadamar and Weilburg were separated from the mining district of Dillenburg by ordinance of November 21, 1842 and incorporated into the newly formed mining district of Weilburg. By law of October 19, 1850, a special Markscheider district was established for each of the three mining districts, including Dillenburg. Finally, by means of an ordinance of the State Ministry of August 12, 1857, the formation of a fourth mining and mining district - the Bergmeisterei Wiesbaden - by dividing the Bergmeisterei Diez. After the Duchy of Nassau was united with Prussia in 1867, the Prussian Minister for Trade, Industry and Public Works issued on March 11, 1867 that the four mining districts of Dillenburg , Diez , Weilburg and Wiesbaden should be maintained. As a result, the Dillenburg mining area existed from April 1, 1867. The General Mining Act of June 24, 1865 was introduced by the Royal Decree of February 22, 1867.

In 1875 there were 22 mines in the Dillenburg mining area, 19 of them in operation, with a total of 495 workers.

The domains, mines, smelters and hammer works in the area of ​​the former Duchy of Nassau, which were subordinate to the ducal finance college in Wiesbaden, were transferred to the department of the Royal Higher Mining Office in Bonn on April 1, 1867. After the announcement issued by this authority on January 3, 1868, the Royal Mining Inspection in Dillenburg was set up in place of the previous Domanial Mining Administration in Dillenburg. Its administrative district included 39 lent mines, of which 7 (Beilstein, Oelsberg, Königszug, Eisenzeche, Steinberg, Bergstein and Laufenderstein) were in operation in 1884. The total production of these pits in 1884 was: 83,208 t of Roteisenstein worth 724,205 marks; 615 workers with 1226 members were employed. The three fiscal lignite mines located in the Dillenburg mining area, from which the Orange and Nassau mines were operated in 1884, belong to the administrative district of the Royal Mining Inspection in Weilburg. In 1884 the total production of these pits was 5677 t of brown coal with a value of 42,315 marks. Its workforce consisted of 71 workers with 166 members.

Pits

At the end of 1884, the following pits were privately owned within the Dillenburg mining area:

  • Iron ore mines (loaned: 1240, 54 in operation)
  • Manganese ore mines (awarded: 9, none in operation)
  • Copper, lead, zinc, silver ore mines (awarded: 158, 5 in operation)
  • Lignite mines (loaned: 220, 13 in operation)
  • Walkerer excavation (awarded: 1, none in operation)
  • Clay pits (awarded: 101, 6 in operation)
  • Roof slate pits (loaned: 99, 3 in operation)
  • Schwerspathgruben (awarded: 11, none in operation)
  • Gravel pits (loaned: 24, one in operation)

The pits were distributed more towards the eastern Dillenburg area towards Ober- and Niederschelden. Less mining (only lignite and rather little iron ) was found on the plateaus of the Westerwald .

Coal mines

The lignite mines in the Westerwald can be found in a separate list:

All of the mines listed there are part of the Dillenburg mining area, with the exception of Niederdresselnorf (Concordia), Emmerzhausen ( Adolfsburg ) and Greifenstein (Bierhain).
