history
The financial procurator and lawyer Georg Ed. Schmidt, the court mayor Wilhelm August Schmidt and the particulate Wilhelm Friedrich Freudenberg joined forces to dig a shaft for the exploration of hard coal.
In 1854, the depth of the shaft began at 297.37 m above sea level . 1856 to a depth of 168 meters, the Silurian basement, without the coal formation of Unterrotliegenden to have encountered achieved. The shaft was then in the same year filled .
On December 9, 1928 there was a break in the shaft in the shaft area . It was found that the shaft was completely free up to the water level at a depth of 19.50 m. As a result, the manhole was not backfilled in 1856 as stated. The shaft was probably just blown and covered over. The costs for the backfilling now to be carried out were estimated at 2500 RM and financed by the Bergschadenkasse.
