The Prosper-Haniel in Bottrop was - from the closure of the Auguste Victoria mine on 18 December 2015 - the last active coal - mining in the Ruhr region . The mine was closed in an official ceremony on December 21, 2018, after the last coal was extracted in regular operation there on September 14. With this, hard coal production in Germany was stopped.
In 1974 Ruhrkohle AG merged the Prosper , Jacobi and Franz Haniel collieries to form the Prosper-Haniel composite mine . The pit systems Prosper I (1/4/5) ⊙ , Prosper II (2/3/8) ⊙ , Prosper III (6/7) ⊙ , Prosper IV (shaft 9) ⊙ , Arenberg continuation 1/2 ⊙ , Jacobi 1/2 ⊙ , Franz Haniel 1/2 ⊙ , Möller 5 ⊙ , and the Prosper coking plant ⊙ . The Jacobi coking plant was operated independently until it was closed in 1984 as a separate plant management.
Prosper colliery
The sinking of the shaft 1 began in August 1856 and 1860 was 175.9 m depth , the coal Mountains reached. Production began in 1863 with 315 workers. The shaft was provided with a continuous weather separator ; one side was used to supply fresh weather and the other side was used to subtract the weather . After a rope tore and 14 dead, a driving art was installed in the shaft in 1867 . In 1863, the first coking plant was built on the Prosper I site.
With the economic boom at the beginning of the 1870s, the sinking of shaft 2 on the Prosper II site began, which received the still-preserved Malakow tower as a winding tower . The promotion of this shaft began in 1875 and 1877 followed the breakdown by Prosper I. (The Roman numerals indicate the numbering of the site and the Arabic numeral the number of the shaft again.) In 1890 a grant of 1 million was achieved tons of coal. This was followed by the sinking of shaft 3 on Prosper II, shaft 4 on Prosper II (1893) and shaft 5 on Prosper I. The mines had a considerable demand for workers; the population of Bottrop increased rapidly, many Polish miners settled and worked on the Prosper collieries. Between 1900 and 1910 the population nearly doubled (from 24,768 to 47,131). In 1906 an annual production of 1.6 million tons of coal was achieved. This was followed by the construction of the Prosper III mine with shafts 6 (1908) and 7 (1911).
The Prosper mine field was divided in 1901 and the Arenberg colliery was built in the northern area ; mining began there in 1912. Both mines together achieved an annual output of 2.78 million tons in 1913. In 1914, the Prosper port was laid out on the Rhine-Herne Canal and a circular railway was built between the colliery sites so that the coal mined could be transported cheaply. In 1917, Shaft 8 was sunk to Prosper II, which was used as a production shaft from 1921. The highest workforce was reached in 1922 with 15,000 workers and employees.
Franz Haniel mine
In the eastern pit field, sinking work began in the Franz Haniel field in 1921. Due to severe water ingress, the Franz Haniel 1 and 2 shafts were created using the freezing process . The final depths were reached in 1923 (shaft 1 at 458 m, shaft 2 at 556 m). On September 25, 1925, the freeze pipes occurred after pulling out of the shaft 2 at a depth of 75 m, a sudden water and Schwemmsandeinbruch which the shaft up to the first floor filled. The connection route to the Jacobi colliery that had previously been driven was also partially drained. In the further course the shaft structure collapsed and disappeared into the shaft. The reopening of the shaft was not started until 1936; In 1941 the planned depth of 600 m was reached.
Consolidation and North Migration
In the following years, a very comprehensive process was carried out, which particularly illustrates the northern migration of the coal mining in the Ruhr.
In 1975 the Prosper I mine, which was only used for weather and water retention purposes, was thrown out and backfilled. At the same time, the Arenberg 1 shaft, which has a small reel mechanism, was equipped with a new headframe to serve as a cable car shaft for the eastern field. At the same time, Arenberg 2 shaft was filled and dropped .
The former Jacobi 1/2 shafts were still operated as a cable car system until 1976, and then used for ventilation until the end of 1977. Then these shafts were also filled. In 1979 the two headframes were moved with excavators because they could not be blown up because of the coking plant that continued to produce in the immediate vicinity.
In 1976, the development of the new northern field in the northern light mine field property began in Kirchheller Heide . By 1981 the Prosper 10 (Prosper V) ⊙ shaft was sunk here , which went into operation as a new cable car and material shaft system. After its completion, the Prosper 3 (Prosper II), Möller 5 and Arenberg 1 shafts that were no longer required were dropped and filled.
In 1982 it was decided to renew the coking plant. This project was carried out until 1987. The coking plant has 146 large-capacity ovens and produces 2 million tons of coke annually . In June 2011 the steel group ArcelorMittal took over the coking plant from Deutsche Steinkohle AG.
With the increasing northward migration of the mining fields, the shaft extraction via the two production shafts Prosper 6 (Prosper III) and 8 (Prosper II) became more and more unprofitable. Therefore, from 1985 the Förderberg Prosper was driven. This is a 3200 m long inclined shaft with conveyor belt, which comes to light on the Prosper II mine.
After its commissioning in 1987, the Prosper 2, 6 and 8 shafts were dropped and filled. Prosper III was completely cleared, on Prosper II the shaft 2 conveyor system was preserved as an industrial monument , the conveyor machine was used on the Voerde shaft of the Walsum mine . In addition, the processing on Prosper II remained.
In 1987 the Franz Haniel 1/2 mine was a destination of Pope John Paul II's second trip to Germany , where he brought up the threat of unemployment in the mining industry and the fair distribution of work .
In 1990 the Franz Haniel 1/2 power plant was shut down, and with it the steam supply to the hoisting machines, which was therefore converted to electrical operation.
The Prosper-Haniel mine became the property of Deutsche Steinkohle AG (DSK) in 1998 . In 2002, the shaft structure over shaft Franz Haniel 1 was demolished and replaced by a service facility . The shaft is still open and is mainly used for weather control.
On May 27, 2011, the mayor of Bottrop , Bernd Tischler , ceremoniously opened the 7th level at a depth of 1159 meters. Planning for the project, which cost more than 100 million euros, began in 1995. Over 100 million tons of coal reserves were still stored here, which were first mined in 2014.
The Prosper-Haniel comprised Finally, the shafts Prosper 9, Prosper 10, Franz Haniel one, Franz Haniel 2, the shaft Hünxe ⊙ of Lohberg as a ventilation shaft, the conveyor mountain and the preparation of Prosper II.
The annual production in 2016 was 2.5 million t. Around 2,600 people were employed.

Re-use plans
RAG is considering using the mine’s infrastructure for an underground pumped storage power plant with a peak output of 200 MW.
Trivia
Two days before the last shift, the football club FC Schalke 04 invited 2,000 miners from the colliery to the Bundesliga home game against Bayer 04 Leverkusen on December 19, 2018, which Schalke lost.
