Bergrevier Siegen II
The Bergrevier Siegen II was an administrative district of the Bergamt Siegen, which was dissolved in 1861, in the central to southeastern Siegerland .
expansion
The mountain area of Siegen II and had covers an area of 91.8 comprised the Office Wilnsdorf , except until 1895 from the Office Burbach had come to Wilnsdorf savages , and the today Eiserfeld belonging Hengsbach from the Office Eiserfeld , places Kaan Marienborn (now Kaan -Marienborn ), Volnsberg , Bürbach , Weidenau (with Haardt ), the later Geisweid and the city of Siegen . The Eisernbach and the Sieg formed the border to the Siegen I mountain area between Eiserfeld and Klafeld (Geisweid) .
history
The Ratzenscheid mine was first mentioned in 1298 as the oldest in Siegerland.
At the end of the 18th century, numerous cobalt mines were opened on the Sieg between Eisern and Siegen. In the 19th century, numerous pits were consolidated into two composite mines on the Eisernhardt . The already existing mine Eiserner Union grew to a multiple size by connecting mine fields by 1899. On May 11, 1859, the Eisernhardter Tiefbau group was formed through the consolidation of 20 pit fields , which, along with the Eiserner Union and Ant pits, was now one of the largest mines in Eisern.
In 1861 the mountain area, which had previously been called “Eisern”, was renamed “Siegen II”. In 1860 there were 53 pits, by 1886 there were already 386 pits in operation in the district. Iron ore production rose from 22,587 t in 1861 to 315,980 t in 1885. In 1944, the Burbach mining area was dissolved due to the large number of closed pits and incorporated into the Siegen II mining area.
In the mid-1920s, numerous large pits in the area had to be closed due to the economic situation. The Ameise , Eisernhardter Tiefbau and Neue Haardt pits were the pits in the mining area that were merged into Bergbau Siegerland AG . In 1961, the Neue Haardt mine, the last mine in the Siegen II mining area, was closed.
Pits
Eisern and the Hengsbach formed the center with most of the pits such as the Ameise , Eisernhardter Tiefbau , Eiserner Union bei Eisern and Gilberg or Flussberg am Gilberg . In addition to these mines, the Neue Haardt mines near Weidenau, Grimberg near Niederdielfen or Neue Hope near Wilgersdorf were larger mines outside the southern Siegen area.
The Landeskrone mine is a special feature of the location . The mine was part of the Siegen II mining area, but was known as the “Wilder Mine” due to the mining of ore in the Wilden district.
