Mallets and irons : tough and symbol of mining

Gezähe ( ahd. Gizouuun from gizawa , success'), formerly also briefly Gezäh , is the name of the miner for all tools and implements, it needs to mountain work.

In the hard coal mining of the 19th and 20th centuries, every miner had his own tenacity. So that it could not be stolen, it was either locked in the check box before the end of the shift or threaded onto the check ring and then locked. In addition, all tools had a hole or an eyelet. Toughs that were not part of the personal equipment and were only needed now and then could be taken out by the miner in the tacking room (also: magazine) in exchange for a toying mark. Most of the tools had a stamped or welded number.

Tenacious
Tough (representative version, for mountain parades and the like, including mountain smock )
  • Pick-up hammer or boxer : a jackhammer for hand-picking
  • Drill teeth: pneumatic hammer, drill support (also: Bohrknecht), drill rod, drill bit and accessories
  • Thick hammer or bello (coll.): A 20 kg sledge hammer
  • Pit ax : a special shape of the hand ax with a hammer track at the blunt end
  • Fimmel or Wolves: iron wedges
  • Tough box: lockable tool box
  • Zähring: lockable ring made of round iron
  • Wedge pick : one-sided pickaxe
    • Wing iron : a double wedge pick, mainly used in the earlier coal mining for the production of the scraper and for coal extraction
    • Broad pick: Pick for soft rock such as clay or lignite with a wide blade
  • Scraper and trough: the material won in was scraped into the trough with the scraper and then transported to the filling station
  • Emergency tough: pickaxe, hammer, shovel, hand winch, fire extinguisher; clearly hung on a red plaque
  • Horizontal bar or crowbar: iron bar
  • Saw : previously a hacksaw, more recently a pneumatic or electric chain saw for cutting wood for pit construction
  • Slag fork or Firke: Tugging of the hut man
  • Mallets and irons : mallets and recovery irons , together a symbol of mining
  • Soap fork : in surface tin mining, similar to a pitchfork. The Seifner diverted streams in order to soap the tin barley found in the upper layers of the earth . With the soap fork, balls of earth were thrown into the channel. The names of the places Seiffen and Graupen come from this activity.
