Hausham mine

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hausham mine was a coal mine of the Upper Bavarian pitch coal deposits between Lech and Inn . 25 million tons of coal had been mined there by the time it was closed. Today there is a mining museum in Hausham . The winding tower has been preserved as a monument.

history

The mine was initially in Miesbach, and the management was later relocated to Hausham due to the small number of deposits. Berghalde and the management building (today the rural women’s school) are still there. Mining began in Hausham in 1860, in the south wing of the local coal deposits. In 1869 the Miesbach-Hausham-Schliersee railway went into operation, which enabled the coal to be transported effectively. In 1871 the sinking work began for the first shaft, initially only up to the Leitzach bottom and in 1877/78 up to 256 meters. In 1953 the mine had a workforce of 1,600 people. The last coal mining was on March 31, 1966.

science

In 2007 the Hausham mine became the subject of scientific scrutiny. In cooperation with the Oberland energy transition , the mechanical engineering department at the University of the Bundeswehr in Munich in Neubiberg had the post-montane use of the Hausham mine examined. The diploma student Jens Junkersdorf wrote a diploma thesis on this with the title economic assessment of geothermal energy in Upper Bavaria . The aim of the investigation was to pump the pit water heated up by the geothermal depth , to extract the heat by means of heat exchangers and to feed a local heating network with the energy of the pit water. The idea for this came from the "Heerlen Minewater Project" in the Netherlands, which was implemented by Daldrup & Söhne AG.
