Gitterseer Steinkohlenbauverein
The Gitterseer Steinkohlenbauverein was a mining company based on hard coal in Gittersee near Dresden . The mine field was on the corridors of Gittersee and Coschütz , in what is now Dresden's urban area.
history
The Gitterseer Steinkohlenbauverein goes back to Carl Christian Gottlieb Graf von Bressler, who in 1809 had the first investigations carried out for the mining of hard coal in the Gittersee corridor. In 1828 the Dresden city councilor Karl Ludwig Meisel had the Meisel shaft sunk. The chemist Johann Karl Gottfried Reichard (1786–1844) was co-owner here . In 1831 von Bressler had the Emmaschacht sunk.
In 1836 the Gitterseer Steinkohlenbauverein was founded. Karl Ludwig Meisel was a founding member. Bressler and Meisel brought their shafts and coal mining rights for the sum of 156,000 thalers to the association. 720 shares with a nominal value of 300 thalers were issued for financing. An operating time of 200 years was assumed.
In 1836, the depth of the Moritz shaft began.
On January 2, 1839, the Gitterseer Steinkohlenbauverein was converted into the Actien-Verein für das Steinkohlenwerk zu Gittersee and a capital increase was carried out by issuing 150 shares with a nominal value of 300 thalers. On March 21, 1839, the statutes of the stock corporation were confirmed by the Royal Ministry of the Interior.
The company's hard coal production rose from 4,299 bushels of coal in 1837 to 127,238 bushels of coal in 1840. That was 6.4 percent of the coal mined in the entire Döhlen basin in 1840. The number of employees had risen from 83 to 163 in the same period. The two conveyor shafts Emmaschacht and Moritzschacht were in operation. With this output, the company was in fourth place in coal production in the Döhlen Basin after the Zauckerode Royal Coal Works , the Burker Steinkohlenwerke and the Potschappler Aktienverein .
In 1838 the company leased the Pesterwitz coal fields from the owner of the Pesterwitz estate, Albert Ferdinand von Thümen. The operation was insignificant. With five employees, 4738 bushels of coal were mined in 1841. The Felixschacht, the Neuschacht, the Ernstschacht and the Amalienschacht belonged to the district. The shafts had depths of between 9 and 32 meters. The first seam reached thicknesses of up to 8 meters. After the owner's death in 1841, the property and the rights to the coal fields were auctioned on January 26, 1847.
In 1842 the company took out a loan of 60,000 thalers.
In 1848 the company acquired the coal mining rights under Birkierter Flur. They extended west of Cornelius-Gurlitt-Strasse and the Grundweg. However, after 100 to 150 meters the field ended at the fault of the Red Ox .
In 1850 the Coschützer coal factory was bought. This company, founded by Ernst Adorf Claus as Claussche's hard coal works in 1830, was auctioned off in 1847 after the owner's death. It was acquired by Major Johann Friedrich Anton Serre , who sold it to the Gitterseer Gesellschaft in 1850. In addition to the rights to the coal fields in Coschütz, the Claus shaft with a depth of 133.70 meters and the 370 meter long Clausstolln were also part of it.
On October 15, 1852, a capital increase was resolved in an addendum to the company's articles of association. On February 4, 1853, the addendum was confirmed and 130 shares with a nominal value of 300 thalers were issued.
On December 22, 1856, a further capital increase was resolved, which was confirmed on February 18, 1857. The number of shares issued is unknown.
The Gitterseer mine building was drained via the Gittersee-Stolln excavated by Bressler, the mouth of which is located directly on the corridor boundary to Birkigt below the former Otto Hänsel machine factory .
The spatially limited area of society led to a relatively quick exhaustion of the economically viable coal. The consequent decline in coal quality and the high costs of dewatering led to the opening of bankruptcy proceedings on July 21, 1859 . The sale of the plant brought in proceeds of 17,000 thalers . This sum was not enough to pay the outstanding wages of the workforce. The Saxon State Treasury acquired the mine fields and later sold them on.
In 1948, geologists from Wismut AG began to investigate the Gittersee II ( Heidenschanze ) area . After uranium ore was found in the coal, the mining of ore coal began that same year. In addition to the digging of new shafts and pits, the old shafts on the Collmberg, which originally belonged to the Coschütz hard coal works, were also cleared up again.
From September 1950, VEB Steinkohlenwerk Freital sunk a new double-shaft system at Dresden-Gittersee station to extract remaining coal piers in the Gittersee mine .
Unsolved problems in the processing of ore coal and the discovery of the Ronneburg deposit prompted the SDAG Wismut to give up the Heidenschanze and Gittersee districts. On December 31, 1955, all work was stopped and the pits were handed over to the VEB Steinkohlenwerk Freital. After the dismantling of remaining areas, the Heidenschanze district was gradually closed from 1957. After the southern part of the district was connected to the Gittersee district via a cross passage in 1959, shaft 8 ( shaft 269 ) was also abandoned and filled.
In 1959, the Meisel shaft was opened up as a blind shaft and used to dismantle residual coal piers. In 1964 mining was stopped and the shaft dropped. This ended the mining in the mining fields of the Gitterseer Steinkohlenbauverein.
