The Peiting mine was one of the mines of the southern Bavarian pitch coal deposits , operated until 1968. In addition to the Peißenberg mine, there was another mining operation in the deposit called Peißenberger Mulde. There in the western field of the Peißenberger Mulde the seams are significantly weaker, which is why the Peitinger mine was a smaller operation than in Peißenberg . With the help of the Peiting mine , the miners there mined around 7.6 million tons of coal between 1921 and 1968. The coal supply of the Peiting mine was 6.4 million tons when it was closed.

history

Peitinger pitch coal

The first mining activities in the Peitinger area began at the end of the 16th century. Great economic importance was the Peiting mining only through the pit Peiting that from August 1920 sunk had been after 1912 mineable coal deposits were found by deep drilling. From 1914 to 1918 there was already an experimental tunnel with provisional funding on the Bühlach. The reason for the additional shaft in Peiting was the loss of the coal mines in Lorraine , Saarland and Upper Silesia as a result of the First World War . The construction of daytime facilities took place at the same time as the shaft was sunk. Since there was a shortage of steel after the First World War due to the occupation and sealing off of the Ruhr area by France, they built the winding tower out of reinforced concrete instead .

On March 31, 1922, the shaft reached the second level at a depth of 235 meters . By cutting off the Bühlach in Flöz 10/11, ventilation was established for the new shaft through a breakthrough in 1922 . Also in 1922, the Kaufbeuren – Schongau railway started operating, simplifying coal sales to Bavarian Swabia and the Allgäu . In 1923 the construction of a coal washing plant was commissioned. In 1925, the output exceeded 100,000 tons of coal per year for the first time. BHS was founded in 1927 and took over the operation of the mine. From 1934 to 1936 the shaft was sunk further to the fifth level at 513 meters. In 1951 the miners made a breakthrough to the Peißenberg mine for the first time . From March 21, 1952, the shaft was deepened to a depth of 813 meters. The weather shaft in Kurzenried was sunk from April 19, 1956, and they reached the second level on November 17, 1956. In 1957, the Peiting coal mine had its highest workforce with 882 miners and 47 employees. From April 1, 1959, the extraction of the sixth level began. In 1961 the mine had the largest annual output of 300,000 tons of usable coal. On July 28, 1968, the BHS stopped coal mining due to a lack of profitability.

Geotope

In the mining area, the coal seam at Bühlach was built as a demonstration structure and designated by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment (LfU) as a geoscientifically particularly valuable geotope (geotope number: 190A012). It was also awarded the official seal of approval for Bavaria's most beautiful geotopes by the LfU .

Varia

  • Today there is a 12 kilometer long mining trail that leads through the history of Peitinger mining in 13 stations.
  • In Peiting in the former mine area there is now a disco called "Bergwerk Peiting".
