Mining history
The mine was established in 1965 through the association of the formerly independent collieries Emil-Emscher and Fritz-Heinrich of Hoesch AG .
The conveyor systems Fritz 1/2 / Hansen and Emil 1/2, as well as the cable car and weather shaft systems Emscher 1/2, Heinrich 1/2, Anna 1 , Carl 1 and the shafts Wilhelmine Victoria 1/4 and 2 as a standstill area were included / 3. The Emil central coking plant was also taken over.
The total production of the mine reached the value of 2.6 million t of fatty and gas coal with a coke production of 800,000 t annually. 5700 people were employed. In 1968 the mine was taken over by the newly founded Ruhrkohle AG and assigned to Bergbau AG Essen.
As part of the overall adjustment plan, it was decided to shut down the mine at the beginning of the 1970s in favor of expanding neighboring, more profitable pits. The Anna / Carl construction site was dropped in 1970 . The mine was completely closed in 1973. The Wilhelmine Victoria 1/4 shafts and pit field were given to the Nordstern colliery .
