The Glückauf-Schacht (also: Glück-Auf-Schacht ) was a coal mine of the Baron von Burgker coal and ironworks . The shaft was located in the central part of the hard coal deposit of the Döhlen basin on the Horkenberg in Neubannewitz .
history
The Freiherrlich von Burgker coal and iron works began on April 27, 1867 with the sinking of the shaft. The shaft, set at 319.50 m above sea level, reached a depth of 408 meters in May 1871 . The first seam found at a depth of 400.60 meters was 5.40 meters thick . The seam in the mine field was up to 7 meters thick. The shaft had a solid, brick-built hothouse in the style of a Malakoff tower , but with a completely unadorned facade. In April 1872 the cable car was introduced for the workforce . For this purpose, the shaft was equipped with a drum hoist. The hoisting ropes were supplied by Felten & Guilleaume . On November 8, 1872, the Glückauf-Schacht approached the area of the pit field of the Segen-Gottes- Schacht, which had been dammed since the firedamp catastrophe . In 1873 a Guibal centrifugal fan with a diameter of nine meters was installed by the manufacturer Brod & Stiehler. In 1875 a mechanical coal washing plant was built by Maschinenbau AG Humboldt . A steam engine with an output of 26 hp was used to operate the laundry.
In 1875, the 600-meter-long connecting line to the Hänichener Kohlenzweigbahn , which was financed by the Burgker Works , was put into operation, making it much easier to transport the coal. In the same year, a cross passage driven north from the first filling point at −59.5 m above sea level was approached about 200 meters from the shaft, a fault with a jump height of 40 meters. In 1876 the conveyor system was converted to a bobbin . Twelve beehive ovens were set up for coke production . Furthermore, a gas generation plant was built to illuminate the buildings and squares. In August 1880, the route support with horses was started. The cross passage driven north from 1880 to 1883 reached the first jump of a fault after a further 270 meters, which was called "Red Ox" after the red layers encountered there. The seams here have sunk by 58 meters. The intersection G, which was driven as an investigation section, was used to follow the up to 60 ° incident fault. After driving a further 297 meters, another jump was reached where the seams sank by 48 meters. In the course of the further driveway, further small jumps with a total height of 37 meters were made. This had reached the deepest part of the trough and the drive was stopped. The mining field there northeast of the Red Ox was driven through the Marienschacht in 1893 and dismantled until 1930. The subsidence of the seam due to the faults in connection with a steep collapse of the seam is 201 meters. With the cross passage driven south from the second filling point at −83.6 m above sea level, the northern crevasse of the Becker shaft fault was crossed at a distance of 58 meters with a jump height of 24 meters. The underlying seams have also been crossed here. The saigere distance to the 1st seam is 5 meters for the 2nd seam, 10 meters for the 3rd seam and 12.50 meters for the 4th seam. While the 2nd seam is 1.00 meters thick and the 3rd seam is 0.90 meters thick, the 4th seam consists only of a 0.30 meter thick layer of fire slate. In 1883, the advance of the cross passage was stopped when the southern edge of the basin was reached.
In 1881 a telephone connection was established by the supplier Siemens & Halske between the 1st filling point (main filling point) and the hoisting machine room . In 1884 the first filling point was connected to the second filling point by a brake mountain and then the production in the second filling point was stopped. In 1893 a water pipe was built from the Marienschacht to the Glückauf-Schacht in order to remedy the shortage of service water. With the shedding of the Neuhoffnungsschacht, last used as a weather shaft, in 1901, the Glückauf shaft became the main weather shaft for moving weather. Because of the poor sales of the coke produced, the coking plant was shut down. In 1902, the Zeitzer Eisengießerei und Maschinenbau-Aktien-Gesellschaft built a briquette factory in its place. In 1906 a breakthrough was made in the field of the Marienschacht to improve the ventilation. In the same year, a power station from Brown, Boveri & Cie. built. From here, the Segen-Gottes-Schacht, the filling point of the Glückauf-Schacht and via an underground cable the filling point of the Marienschacht were supplied with electricity. The gas generation was stopped. After the commissioning of a central coal washing facility, the company Adolf Bleichert & Co. built a 1260 meter long cable car between the Glückauf shaft and the Segen-Gottes-Schacht , with which the clear coal was transported to the Glückauf shaft for processing. A telephone connection was set up between the two terminus of the cable car. In 1907 the shaft's power station was connected to the Coschütz power station. In 1909, the premises of the Marienschacht was also connected to the power supply.
To improve the transport on the very extensive route network, a compressed air locomotive from the Rudolf Meyer company, machine factory in Mülheim an der Ruhr , was used from 1912 . It was able to move 20 empty hunts over a distance of 800 meters to the mining field and 20 full hunts back without refilling.
In 1919 the briquette factory was shut down because the previously used fine coals were used for other purposes. To offset the charred strut , a flushing installation was put into operation in 1920. At the end of the 1920s, the conditions for coal mining deteriorated more and more.
In 1926, due to the availability of sufficient raw material, the briquette factory with two briquette presses was put back into operation. They could produce 45 tons of 1 kg briquettes or 30 tons of 3/4 kg briquettes per hour. In April 1927, the construction of a 780 meter long, overshot Hunteseilbahn from Marienschacht to Glückauf-Schacht began. A special feature of this railway was that it led under the Horkenberg with a 340 meter long tunnel. The railway went into operation in January 1928. With it all coal mined on the Marienschacht was transported. In 1929/30 the ropes of the cable car that could not withstand the stress were replaced with chains. The existing flotation on the Marienschacht was converted to the Glückauf-Schacht. In 1928 the southern mining reached the shaft safety pier . The second compressed air locomotive, which had been used in the Marienschacht up until then, was moved to the Glückauf-Schacht in 1929.
Due to the rapidly deteriorating economic conditions and the lack of sales of the coal mined, operations were stopped on March 31, 1930. After a fire on average 44, along the route to the Marienschacht, which could not be extinguished, the mine was dammed up and the shaft was thrown off. The last hunt coal was mined on April 14, 1930. Up to this point, 3,579,514 tons of coal had been mined. The shaft was filled with heaps of heaps up to the hanging lawn bank. The flotation was implemented in the Döhlen laundry . The power station was shut down.
The briquette factory on the mine site worked until 1945. The coal was obtained from the Queen Carola mine of the Saxon Works Corporation . A large part of the daytime facilities were re-used after the mining operations were closed, so that a large part of the buildings has been preserved in a converted form to this day. On July 27, 1942, the administration of Burgker Werke transferred the site to the Dresden mineral oil product company "Kontak" GmbH. It produced tank wood for wood gas generators and smoking wood for butchers and fish smokers on the shaft site . The company continued as VEB Tankholzwerk until the 1960s. During the GDR era (until 1990), an administration building served as a cultural center for the community of Bannewitz, and the local machine rental station (MAS, later the district operation for agricultural technology) was located on the site.
The connecting line to the Kleinnaundorf station of the Windbergbahn existed until August 19, 1967, when the Deutsche Reichsbahn terminated the connecting railway contract. The last users of the loading tracks in the shaft area were, in addition to the tank timber plant, VEB Bau-Union Dresden, the wood processing plant II Freital (based in Bannewitz), some coal traders and the local farmers' trade cooperative (BHG). In September 1967 the siding was dismantled.
From 1959, at the level of the 1st filling point of the Glückauf-Schacht from the Marienschacht, the VEB Steinkohlenwerk "Willi Agatz" excavated cross passage 17 in order to mine the remaining coal pillars in the field. The extraction took place via the Bandberg GB 14 to the 3rd level at Marienschacht at −242.5 m above sea level. From 1964 a battery locomotive of the type El 9 was used. In 1967 an attempt was made to salvage the compressed air locomotives that had remained in the mine field when it was closed in 1930. On December 31, 1965, a mine fire that broke out forced the mine field to be hermetically sealed, thus ruining the attempt at rescue.
The pit and the buildings are now used commercially by a large number of companies.
